English translation

1453. 'Abdul-Jabbār bin Wā'il bin Hujr narrated that his father said: "A woman was forced to commit illegal sexual relations during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not enforce the legal punishment upon her, but he enforced it upon the one who had done it to her." And the narrator did not mention him assigning a dowry for her. (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, and its chain is not connected. This Hadīth has been reported through more than one route. [He said:] I heard Muḥammad saying: "Abdul-Jabbār bin Wā'il bin Hujr did not hear from his father, nor did he see him." They say that he was born a month after his father died. This Hadīth is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, in that the legal punishment is not implemented upon the woman who is coerced into committing adultery.

١٤٥٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُعَمَّرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ ، عَنِ ‌الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «اسْتُكْرِهَتِ امْرَأَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَرَأَ عَنْهَا» رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْحَدَّ وَأَقَامَهُ عَلَى الَّذِي أَصَابَهَا، وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ لَهَا مَهْرًا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِمُتَّصِلٍ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ: عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَلَا أَدْرَكَهُ، يُقَالُ: إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِيهِ بِأَشْهُرٍ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ؛ أَنْ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمُسْتَكْرَهَةِ حَدٌّ.
