6825. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man from among the people came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was sitting in the mosque, and addressed him, saying, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet ﷺ had turned his face, and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he confessed his sin four times, the Prophet called him and said, "Are you mad?" He said, "No, O Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you married?" He said, "Yes, O Allāh's Messenger." The Prophet ﷺ said (to the people), "Take him away and stone him to death."

6825 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ المُسَيِّبِ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ: أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَهُوَ فِي المَسْجِدِ، فَنَادَاهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، يُرِيدُ نَفْسَهُ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَنَحَّى لِشِقِّ وَجْهِهِ الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ قِبَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَجَاءَ لِشِقِّ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ، دَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ» قَالَ: لاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَحْصَنْتَ» قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ»
