2695, 2696. Narrated Abū Hurairah and Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juhani رضي الله عنهما: A bedouin came and said, “O Allāh's Messenger! Judge between us according to Allāh's Laws.” His opponent got up and said, “He is right. Judge between us according to Allāh's Laws.” The bedouin said, “My son was a labourer working for this man, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that my son should be stoned to death; so, in lieu of that, I paid a ransom of one hundred sheep and a slave-girl to save my son. Then I asked the learned scholars who said, ‘Your son has to be lashed one hundred lashes and has to be exiled for one year.’” The Prophet ﷺ said, “No doubt, I will judge between you according to Allāh's Laws. The two men to get angry, and the two groups started fighting with sticks, shoes and hands. We were informed that the following Divine Verse was revealed (in this concern): “And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both...” (V.49:9)

٢٦٩٥ - ٢٦٩٦ - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ﵄ قَالَا: «جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، فَقَامَ خَصْمُهُ فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ، اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا، فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ، فَقَالُوا لِي: عَلَى ابْنِكَ الرَّجْمُ، فَفَدَيْتُ ابْنِي مِنْهُ بِمِائَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَوَلِيدَةٍ، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّمَا عَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، أَمَّا الْوَلِيدَةُ وَالْغَنَمُ فَرَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ، وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أُنَيْسُ لِرَجُلٍ فَاغْدُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَارْجُمْهَا. فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا أُنَيْسٌ فَرَجَمَهَا.»
