7193, 7194. Narrated Abū Hurairah and Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juhānī: A bedouin came and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Judge between us according to Allāh's Book (Laws)." His opponent stood up and said, "He said the truth, so judge between us according to Allāh's Laws." The bedouin said, "My son was a labourer for this man and committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people said to me, 'Your son is to be stoned to death,' so I ransomed my son for one hundred sheep and a slave-girl. Then I asked the religious learned men and they said to me, 'Your son has to receive one hundred lashes and also one year of exile.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I shall judge between you according to Allāh's Book (Laws)! As for the slave-girl and the sheep, it shall be returned to you, and your son shall receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year." "O you, Unais!", the Prophet ﷺ addressed the man, "Go in the morning to the wife of this man and (if she confessed) stone her to death." So Unais went to her the next morning (she confessed) so he stoned her to death. (See H. 6859)

7193 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الجُهَنِيِّ، قَالاَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَقَامَ خَصْمُهُ فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ، فَاقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِاللَّهِ، فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ: إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا، فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ، فَقَالُوا لِي: عَلَى ابْنِكَ الرَّجْمُ، فَفَدَيْتُ ابْنِي مِنْهُ بِمِائَةٍ مِنَ الغَنَمِ وَوَلِيدَةٍ، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ العِلْمِ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّمَا عَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ، وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ، أَمَّا الوَلِيدَةُ وَالغَنَمُ فَرَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ، وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ، وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أُنَيْسُ لِرَجُلٍ فَاغْدُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَارْجُمْهَا»، فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا أُنَيْسٌ فَرَجَمَهَا
