1433. Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Utbah narrated that he heard from Abū Hurairah, Zaid bin Khālid, and Shibl, that they were with the Prophet ﷺ and two men came to him disputing. So one of them stood before him and said: "I ask you by Allāh, O Messenger of Allāh! Only that you would judge between us by the Book of Allāh." So his disputant said – and he was more eloquent than him: "I agree O Messenger of Allāh! Judge between us by the Book of Allāh, and allow me to speak. My son was a servant for this man and he committed adultery with his wife. So they told me that my son was to be stoned. I paid him one hundred female sheep and a female slave. Then I met some people from the people of knowledge and they said that my son was to be lashed one hundred times, and to be banished for a year and that stoning is only for this man's wife." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul! I will judge between you two by the Book of Allāh. The one hundred female sheep and the female slave should be returned to you. For your son is one hundred lashes and banishment for a year. O Unais! Go to this Man's wife, and if she confesses then stone her." He went to her and she confessed, so he stoned her. (Sahih) (Another chain) with similar. And (Another chain) with similar. [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Bakr, 'Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmiṭ, Abū Hurairah, Abū Sa'eed, Ibn 'Abbās, Jābir bin Samurah, Hazzāl, Buraidah, Salamah bin Al-Muḥabbaq, Abū Barzah, and 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah and Zaid bin Khālid is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is how it was reported by Mālik bin Anas, Ma'mar and others from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh [bin 'Utbah], from Abū Hurairah, and Zaid bin Khālid, from the Prophet ﷺ, they also reported with this chain from the Prophet ﷺ that he said; "If a slave commits adultery lash her, if she commits adultery the fourth time sell her, even for a piece of twisted rope." Sufyān bin 'Uyainah reported from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullāh, from Abū Hurairah, Zaid bin Khālid and Shibl, and they said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ." This is how Ibn 'Uyainah reported the two Aḥādīth, from Abū Hurairah, Zaid bin Khālid, and Shibl. But Ibn 'Uyainah's narration is mistaken; Sufyān bin 'Uyainah made the mistake of entering one Hadīth in another Hadīth. What is correct is what was reported by [Muḥammad bin Al-Walid] Az-Zubaidī, Yūnus bin Yazīd, and the son of Az-Zuhri's brother, from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullāh, from Abū Hurairah and Zaid bin Khālid, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "When the female slave commits adultery [then lash her]." And Az-Zuhri reported from 'Ubaidullah from Shibl bin Khālid, from 'Abdullah bin Mālik Al-Awsī, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "When the female slave commits adultery." And this is what is correct according to the people of Hadīth. Shibl bin Khālid did not see the Prophet ﷺ, Shibl only reported it from 'Abdullah bin Mālik Al-Awsī, from the Prophet ﷺ. This is what is correct, and the narration of Ibn 'Uyainah is not preserved. It was related that he said: "Shibl bin Hāmid" and this is a mistake, he is only Shibl bin Khālid, and he is also called Shibl bin Khulaid.[1]
