2608. It was narrated from Mu'âwiyah bin Qurrah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent me to a man who had married his father's wife after he died, to strike his neck (execute him) and confiscate his wealth." (Hasan)
2608 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ أَخِي الْحُسَيْنِ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مَنَازِلَ التَّيْمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ، أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ وَأُصَفِّيَ مَالَهُ»

Killing is a form of the Hadd, and confiscating wealth is Ta'zir. It means that the Noble Prophet ﷺ gave him both of the punishments.
