[4435] 25 - (1697/1698) It was narrated that Abū Hurairah and Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juḥanī said: "A man from among the Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I adjure you by Allāh to judge me according to the Book of Allāh.' The second claimant - who was wiser than him - said: 'Yes, judge between us according to the Book of Allāh, but let me speak.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Speak.' He said: 'My son was employed by this man, and he committed Zinā with his wife. I was told that my son should be stoned, but I ransomed him for one hundred sheep and a slave girl. I asked the people of knowledge and they told me that my son should be given one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year, and that this man's wife should be stoned.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allāh. The slave girl and the sheep should be given back, and your son should be given one hundred lashes and exiled for one year. Tomorrow, O Unais, go to the wife of this man, and if she admits it, then stone her.’ “The next day he went to her, and she admitted it, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered that she be stoned.”

25 - (1697 حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا: إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَ لِي بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ الْخَصْمُ الْآخَرُ: وَهُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ نَعَمْ، فَاقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَأْذَنْ لِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قُلْ»، قَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا، فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ، وَإِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي الرَّجْمَ، فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَوَلِيدَةٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ، فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّمَا عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ، وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، وَأَنَّ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا الرَّجْمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، الْوَلِيدَةُ وَالْغَنَمُ رَدٌّ، وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ، وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، وَاغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ إِلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا، فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا»، قَالَ: فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا، فَاعْتَرَفَتْ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُجِمَتْ،
