(What is said regarding) a divorce given in a state of anger, under compulsion or under the effect of intoxicants or insanity. And what is the verdict about them. And what if one ascribes partners to Allāh or divorces his wife or does other things by mistake or through forgetfulness. We may refer to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: "The deeds are evaluated according to one's intentions, and everybody will receive the reward of what he has intended."

5270. Narrated Jābir: A man from the tribe of Banī Aslam came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in the mosque and said, "I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side. The man turned towards the side towards which the Prophet ﷺ had turned his face, and gave four witnesses against himself. On that the Prophet ﷺ called him and said, "Are you insane?" (He added), "Are you married?" The man said, "Yes." On that the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to be stoned to the death in the Muṣallā. When the stones hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but he was caught at Al-Ḥarra and then killed.

5270 - حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي المَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ زَنَى، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَتَنَحَّى لِشِقِّهِ الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ، فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ، فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ: «هَلْ بِكَ جُنُونٌ؟ هَلْ أَحْصَنْتَ» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ بِالْمُصَلَّى، فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الحِجَارَةُ جَمَزَ حَتَّى أُدْرِكَ بِالحَرَّةِ فَقُتِلَ
