6820. Narrated Jābir: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: A man from the tribe of Aslam came to the Prophet ﷺ and confessed that he had committed an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet ﷺ turned his face away from him till the man bore witness against himself, four times. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Are you mad?" He said "No." He asked, "Are you married?" He said, "Yes." Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be stoned to death, and he was stoned to death at the Muṣallā. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but he was caught and was stoned till he died. The Prophet ﷺ spoke well of him and offered his funeral prayer. And 'Aṭā said, "The Prophet ﷺ did not punish such a person." Ibn Jurāij said, "The Prophet ﷺ did not punish a man who had sexual relations with his wife during Ramaḍān." And 'Umar did not punish the person who hunted a deer while he was in the state of Iḥrām. A similar verdict is reported from the Prophet ﷺ on the authority of Ibn Mas'ūd.
