4472. Abū Umāmah bin Sahl bin Hunaif narrated that one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, among the Anṣār, told him, that a man among them fell sick, and wasted away, until he was little more than skin and bones. The slave woman of one of them entered upon him, and he was cheered by the sight of her, and had intercourse with her. When some men of his people entered upon him to visit him, he told them about that, and said: "Consult the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ for me, for I had intercourse with a slave woman who entered upon me." They mentioned that to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "We do not think that any of the people is as weak as he is. If we bring him to you his bones will disintegrate. He is no more than skin and bones." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered them to take one hundred branches and strike him with them once. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4472 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، أَنَّهُ اشْتَكَى رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى أُضْنِيَ، فَعَادَ جِلْدَةً عَلَى عَظْمٍ، فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ جَارِيَةٌ لِبَعْضِهِمْ، فَهَشَّ لَهَا، فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رِجَالُ قَوْمِهِ يَعُودُونَهُ أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: اسْتَفْتُوا لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى جَارِيَةٍ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالُوا: مَا رَأَيْنَا بِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنَ الضُّرِّ مِثْلَ الَّذِي هُوَ بِهِ، لَوْ حَمَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ لَتَفَسَّخَتْ عِظَامُهُ، مَا هُوَ إِلَّا جِلْدٌ عَلَى عَظْمٍ، «فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا لَهُ مِائَةَ شِمْرَاخٍ، فَيَضْرِبُوهُ بِهَا ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً»
