6633, 6634. Narrated Abū Hurairah and Zaid bin Khālid: Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. One of them said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Judge between us according to Allāh's Laws." The other, who was wiser, said, "Yes, O Allāh's Messenger! Judge between us according to Allāh's Laws and allow me to speak." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Speak." He said, "My son was a labourer serving this (person) and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people said that my son is to be stoned to death, but I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a slave-girl. Then I asked the learned people, who informed me that my son should receive one hundred lashes and will be exiled for one year, and stoning will be the lot for the man's wife." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Indeed, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allāh's Laws. As for your sheep and slave-girl, they are to be returned to you." Then he scourged his son one hundred lashes and exiled him for one year. Then Unais Al-Aslamī was ordered to go to the wife of the second man, and if she confessed (the crime), then stone her to death. She did confess, so he stoned her to death.

٦٦٣٣ - ٦٦٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَنَّهُمَا أَخْبَرَاهُ «أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ وَهْوَ أَفْقَهُهُمَا أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَأْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ، قَالَ: تَكَلَّمْ قَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا، قَالَ مَالِكٌ: وَالْعَسِيفُ الْأَجِيرُ، زَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي: أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي الرَّجْمَ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَجَارِيَةٍ لِي، ثُمَّ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي: أَنَّ مَا عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، وَإِنَّمَا الرَّجْمُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ: أَمَّا غَنَمُكَ وَجَارِيَتُكَ فَرَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ، وَجَلَدَ ابْنَهُ مِائَةً وَغَرَّبَهُ عَامًا، وَأُمِرَ أُنَيْسٌ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ امْرَأَةَ الْآخَرِ، فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ رَجَمَهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَرَجَمَهَا.»
