Volume 8, Book 82, Number 794:
Narrated Anas:
Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and
embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered
them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk
and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they had recovered from their
ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed
the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some
people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the
Prophets ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their
eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and
legs should not be cauterized, till they die.

Narrated Anas:
A group of people from 'Ukl (tribe) came to the Prophet and they
were living with the people of As-Suffa, but they became ill as the climate of
Medina did not suit them, so they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Provide us
with milk." The Prophet said, I see no other way for you than to use the
camels of Allah's Apostle." So they went and drank the milk and urine of
the camels, (as medicine) and became healthy and fat. Then they killed the
shepherd and took the camels away. When a help-seeker came to Allah's Apostle,
he sent some men in their pursuit, and they were captured and brought before
mid day. The Prophet ordered for some iron pieces to be made red hot, and their
eyes were branded with them and their hands and feet were cut off and were not
cauterized. Then they were put at a place called Al-Harra, and when they asked
for water to drink they were not given till they died. (Abu Qilaba said,
"Those people committed theft and murder and fought against Allah and His
Apostle.")
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 797:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A group of people from 'Ukl (or 'Uraina) tribe ----but I think he
said that they were from 'Ukl came to Medina and (they became ill, so) the
Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) she-camels and told them to
go out and drink the camels' urine and milk (as a medicine). So they went and
drank it, and when they became healthy, they killed the shepherd and drove away
the camels. This news reached the Prophet early in the morning, so he sent
(some) men in their pursuit and they were captured and brought to the Prophet
before midday. He ordered to cut off their hands and legs and their eyes to be
branded with heated iron pieces and they were thrown at Al-Harra, and when they
asked for water to drink, they were not given water. (Abu Qilaba said,
"Those were the people who committed theft and murder and reverted to
disbelief after being believers (Muslims), and fought against Allah and His
Apostle").

His Shade on the Day of Resurrection when there will be no shade except His
Shade. (They will be), a just ruler, a young man who has been brought up in the
worship of Allah, a man who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then
flooded with tears, a man whose heart is attached to mosques (offers his
compulsory congregational prayers in the mosque), two men who love each other
for Allah's Sake, a man who is called by a charming lady of noble birth to
commit illegal sexual intercourse with her, and he says, 'I am afraid of
Allah,' and (finally), a man who gives in charity so secretly that his left
hand does not know what his right hand has given."

(i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him Paradise."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 800i:
Narrated Anas:
I will narrate to you a narration which nobody will narrate to you
after me. I heard that form the Prophet. I heard the Prophet saying, "The
Hour sill not be established" or said: "From among the portents of
the Hour is that the religious knowledge will betaken away (by the death of
religious Scholars) and general ignorance (of religion) will appear; and the
drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common, and (open) illegal sexual
intercourse will prevail, and men will decrease in number while women will
increase so much so that, for fifty women there will only be one man to look
after them."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 800e:
Narrated 'Ikrima from Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostles said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits
illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it;
and if he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he
drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of drinking
it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder," 'Ikrima said: I
asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from him?" He said, Like
this," by clasping his hands and then separating them, and added,
"But if he repents, faith returns to him like this, by clasping his hands
again.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 801:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The one who commits an illegal sexual
intercourse is not a believer at the time of committing illegal sexual
intercourse and a thief is not a believer at the time of committing theft and a
drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer at the time of drinking. Yet, (the
gate of) repentance is open thereafter."

kill your child lest it should share your food." I asked, "What is
next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife
of your neighbor."

four times, the Prophet called him, saying, "Are you mad?" The man
said, "No." The Prophet said, "Are you married?" The man said,
"Yes." Then the Prophet said, 'Take him away and stone him to
death." Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: I was among the ones who participated in
stoning him and we stoned him at the Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he
fled, but we over took him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death.

A Jew and a Jewess were brought to Allah's Apostle on a charge of
committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet asked them. "What is
the legal punishment (for this sin) in your Book (Torah)?" They replied,
"Our priests have innovated the punishment of blackening the faces with
charcoal and Tajbiya." 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "O Allah's Apostle,
tell them to bring the Torah." The Torah was brought, and then one of the
Jews put his hand over the Divine Verse of the Rajam (stoning to death) and
started reading what preceded and what followed it. On that, Ibn Salam said to
the Jew, "Lift up your hand." Behold! The Divine Verse of the Rajam
was under his hand. So Allah's Apostle ordered that the two (sinners) be stoned
to death, and so they were stoned. Ibn 'Umar added: So both of them were stoned
at the Balat and I saw the Jew sheltering the Jewess.

charity." He said, "I have nothing." The man sat down, and in
the meantime there came a person driving a donkey carrying food to the Prophet
..... (The sub-narrator, 'Abdur Rahman added: I do not know what kind of food
it was). On that the Prophet said, "Where is the burnt person?" The
man said, "Here I am." The Prophet said to him, "Take this
(food) and give it in charity (to someone)." The man said, "To a
poorer person than l? My family has nothing to eat." Then the Prophet said

and when the Prophet had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please
inflict the punishment on me according to Allah's Laws." The Prophet said,

her?" The narrator added: At that, (i.e. after his confession) the Prophet
ordered that he be stoned (to death).
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 814:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man from among the people, came to Allah's Apostle while Allah's
Apostle was sitting in the mosque, and addressed him, saying, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have committed an illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet
turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet
had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed an
illegal intercourse." The Prophet turned his face to the other side, and
the man came to that side, and when he confessed four times, the Prophet called
him and said, "Are you mad?" He said, "No, O Allah's
Apostle!" The Prophet said, "Are you married?" He said,

Allah's Laws." Then the man's opponent who was wiser than him, got up
saying (to Allah's Apostle) "Judge us according to Allah's Law and kindly
allow me (to speak)." The Prophet said, "'Speak." He said,
"My son was a laborer working for this man and he committed an illegal
sexual intercourse with his wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a
ransom for my son's sin. Then I asked a learned man about this case and he
informed me that my son should receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one
year, and the man's wife should be stoned to death." The Prophet said,
"By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to the Laws
of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep and the slave are to be returned to you, and
your son has to receive one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O Unais!
Go to the wife of this man, and if she confesses, then stone her to
death." Unais went to her and she confessed. He then stoned her to death.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 816:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
'Umar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed,
people may say, "We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death)
in the Holy Book," and consequently they may go astray by leaving an
obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be
inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already
married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession."
Sufyan added, "I have memorized this narration in this way." 'Umar
added, "Surely Allah's Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did
we after him."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 817:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I used to teach (the Qur'an to) some people of the Muhajirln
(emigrants), among whom there was 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf. While I was in his
house at Mina, and he was with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab during 'Umar's last Hajj,
Abdur-Rahman came to me and said, "Would that you had seen the man who
came today to the Chief of the Believers ('Umar), saying, 'O Chief of the
Believers! What do you think about so-and-so who says, 'If 'Umar should die, I
will give the pledge of allegiance to such-and-such person, as by Allah, the
pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr was nothing but a prompt sudden action which
got established afterwards.' 'Umar became angry and then said, 'Allah willing,
I will stand before the people tonight and warn them against those people who
want to deprive the others of their rights (the question of rulership)."
'Abdur-Rahman said, "I said, 'O Chief of the believers! Do
not do that, for the season of Hajj gathers the riff-raff and the rubble, and
it will be they who will gather around you when you stand to address the
people. And I am afraid that you will get up and say something, and some people
will spread your statement and may not say what you have actually said and may
not understand its meaning, and may interpret it incorrectly, so you should
wait till you reach Medina, as it is the place of emigration and the place of
Prophet's Traditions, and there you can come in touch with the learned and
noble people, and tell them your ideas with confidence; and the learned people
will understand your statement and put it in its proper place.' On that, 'Umar
said, 'By Allah! Allah willing, I will do this in the first speech I will
deliver before the people in Medina."
Ibn Abbas added: We reached Medina by the end of the month of
Dhul-Hijja, and when it was Friday, we went quickly (to the mosque) as soon as
the sun had declined, and I saw Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail sitting at
the corner of the pulpit, and I too sat close to him so that my knee was
touching his knee, and after a short while 'Umar bin Al-Khattab came out, and
when I saw him coming towards us, I said to Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail
"Today 'Umar will say such a thing as he has never said since he was
chosen as Caliph." Said denied my statement with astonishment and said,
"What thing do you expect 'Umar to say the like of which he has never said
before?"
In the meantime, 'Umar sat on the pulpit and when the callmakers
for the prayer had finished their call, 'Umar stood up, and having glorified
and praised Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then, I am going to tell
you something which (Allah) has written for me to say. I do not know; perhaps
it portends my death, so whoever understands and remembers it, must narrate it
to the others wherever his mount takes him, but if somebody is afraid that he
does not understand it, then it is unlawful for him to tell lies about me.
Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among
what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam (the stoning of married person
(male & female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did recite
this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah's Apostle did carry out the
punishment of stoning and so did we after him.
I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say,
'By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book,' and thus
they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the
punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married person (male &
female), who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the required evidence is
available or there is conception or confession. And then we used to recite
among the Verses in Allah's Book: 'O people! Do not claim to be the offspring
of other than your fathers, as it is disbelief (unthankfulness) on your part
that you claim to be the offspring of other than your real father.' Then
Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not praise me excessively as Jesus, son of Marry was
praised, but call me Allah's Slave and His Apostles.' (O people!) I have been
informed that a speaker amongst you says, 'By Allah, if 'Umar should die, I
will give the pledge of allegiance to such-and-such person.' One should not
deceive oneself by saying that the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was
given suddenly and it was successful. No doubt, it was like that, but Allah
saved (the people) from its evil, and there is none among you who has the
qualities of Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of allegiance to
anybody among you without consulting the other Muslims, neither that person,
nor the person to whom the pledge of allegiance was given, are to be supported,
lest they both should be killed.
And no doubt after the death of the Prophet we were informed that
the Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sa'da. 'Ali and
Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us, while the emigrants gathered with
Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let's go to these Ansari brothers of ours.' So
we set out seeking them, and when we approached them, two pious men of theirs
met us and informed us of the final decision of the Ansar, and said, 'O group
of Muhajirin (emigrants) ! Where are you going?' We replied, 'We are going to
these Ansari brothers of ours.' They said to us, 'You shouldn't go near them.
Carry out whatever we have already decided.' I said, 'By Allah, we will go to
them.' And so we proceeded until we reached them at the shed of Bani Sa'da.
Behold! There was a man sitting amongst them and wrapped in something. I asked,
'Who is that man?' They said, 'He is Sa'd bin 'Ubada.' I asked, 'What is wrong
with him?' They said, 'He is sick.' After we sat for a while, the Ansar's
speaker said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and praising
Allah as He deserved, he added, 'To proceed, we are Allah's Ansar (helpers) and
the majority of the Muslim army, while you, the emigrants, are a small group
and some people among you came with the intention of preventing us from
practicing this matter (of caliphate) and depriving us of it.'
When the speaker had finished, I intended to speak as I had
prepared a speech which I liked and which I wanted to deliver in the presence
of Abu Bakr, and I used to avoid provoking him. So, when I wanted to speak, Abu
Bakr said, 'Wait a while.' I disliked to make him angry. So Abu Bakr himself
gave a speech, and he was wiser and more patient than I. By Allah, he never
missed a sentence that I liked in my own prepared speech, but he said the like
of it or better than it spontaneously. After a pause he said, 'O Ansar! You
deserve all (the qualities that you have attributed to yourselves, but this
question (of Caliphate) is only for the Quraish as they are the best of the
Arabs as regards descent and home, and I am pleased to suggest that you choose
either of these two men, so take the oath of allegiance to either of them as
you wish. And then Abu Bakr held my hand and Abu Ubada bin Abdullah's hand who
was sitting amongst us. I hated nothing of what he had said except that
proposal, for by Allah, I would rather have my neck chopped off as expiator for
a sin than become the ruler of a nation, one of whose members is Abu Bakr,
unless at the time of my death my own-self suggests something I don't feel at
present.'
And then one of the Ansar said, 'I am the pillar on which the
camel with a skin disease (eczema) rubs itself to satisfy the itching (i.e., I
am a noble), and I am as a high class palm tree! O Quraish. There should be one
ruler from us and one from you.'
Then there was a hue and cry among the gathering and their voices
rose so that I was afraid there might be great disagreement, so I said, 'O Abu
Bakr! Hold your hand out.' He held his hand out and I pledged allegiance to
him, and then all the emigrants gave the Pledge of allegiance and so did the
Ansar afterwards. And so we became victorious over Sa'd bin Ubada (whom
Al-Ansar wanted to make a ruler). One of the Ansar said, 'You have killed Sa'd
bin Ubada.' I replied, 'Allah has killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' Umar added, "By
Allah, apart from the great tragedy that had happened to us (i.e. the death of
the Prophet), there was no greater problem than the allegiance pledged to Abu
Bakr because we were afraid that if we left the people, they might give the
Pledge of allegiance after us to one of their men, in which case we would have
given them our consent for something against our real wish, or would have
opposed them and caused great trouble. So if any person gives the Pledge of
allegiance to somebody (to become a Caliph) without consulting the other
Muslims, then the one he has selected should not be granted allegiance, lest
both of them should be killed."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 818:
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Jihani:
I heard the Prophet ordering that an unmarried person guilty of
illegal sexual intercourse be flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one
year. Umar bin Al-Khattab also exiled such a person, and this tradition is
still valid.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 819:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle judged that the unmarried person who was guilty of
illegal sexual intercourse be exiled for one year and receive the legal
punishment (i.e., be flogged with one-hundred stripes) .
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 820:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet cursed the effeminate men and those women who assume
the similitude (manners) of men. He also said, "Turn them out of your
houses." He turned such-and-such person out, and 'Umar also turned out
such-and-such person.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 821:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
A bedouin came to the Prophet while he (the Prophet) was sitting,
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give your verdict according to Allah's Laws
(in our case)." Then his opponent got up and said, "He has told the
truth, O Allah's Apostle! Decide his case according to Allah's Laws. My son was
a laborer working for this person, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse
with his wife, and the people told me that my son should be stoned to death,
but I offered one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom for him. Then I
asked the religious learned people, and they told me that my son should be
flogged with one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year." The Prophet
said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to
Allah's Laws. The sheep and the slave girl will be returned to you and your son
will be flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year. And you, O
Unais! Go to the wife of this man (and if she confesses), stone her to
death." So Unais went in the morning and stoned her to death (after she
had confessed).
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 822:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Said bin Khalid:
The verdict of Allah's Apostle was sought about an unmarried slave
girl guilty of illegal intercourse. He replied, "If she commits illegal
sexual intercourse, then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal
sexual intercourse (after that for the second time), then flog her (fifty
stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (for the third time),
then flog her (fifty stripes) and sell her for even a hair rope." Ibn
Shihab said, "I am not sure whether the Prophet ordered that she be sold
after the third or fourth time of committing illegal intercourse."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 823:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If a lady slave commits illegal sexual
intercourse and she is proved guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, then she
should be flogged (fifty stripes) but she should not be admonished; and if she
commits illegal sexual intercourse again, then she should be flogged again but
should not be admonished; and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse for the
third time, then she should be sold even for a hair rope."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 824:
Narrated Ash-Shaibani:
I asked 'Abdullah bin Abi 'Aufa about the Rajam (stoning somebody
to death for committing illegal sexual intercourse). He replied, "The
Prophet carried out the penalty of Rajam," I asked, "Was that before
or after the revelation of Surat-an-Nur?" He replied, "I do not
know."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 825:
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:
The jews came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned to him that a man
and a lady among them had committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah's Apostle
said to them, "What do you find in the Torah regarding the Rajam?"
They replied, "We only disgrace and flog them with stripes."
'Abdullah bin Salam said to them, 'You have told a lie the penalty of Rajam is
in the Torah.' They brought the Torah and opened it. One of them put his hand
over the verse of the Rajam and read what was before and after it. Abdullah bin
Salam said to him, "Lift up your hand." Where he lifted it there
appeared the verse of the Rajam. So they said, "O Muhammad! He has said
the truth, the verse of the Rajam is in it (Torah)." Then Allah's Apostle
ordered that the two persons (guilty of illegal sexual intercourse) be stoned
to death, and so they were stoned, and I saw the man bending over the woman so
as to protect her from the stones.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 826:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah's Apostle. One of
them said, "Judge us according to Allah's Laws." The other who was
more wise said, "Yes, Allah's Apostle, judge us according to Allah's Laws
and allow me to speak (first)" The Prophet said to him, 'Speak " He
said, "My son was a laborer for this man, and he committed illegal sexual
intercourse with his wife, and the people told me that my son should be stoned
to death, but I have given one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom
(expiation) for my son's sin. Then I asked the religious learned people (about
It), and they told me that my son should he flogged one-hundred stripes and
should be exiled for one year, and only the wife of this man should be stoned
to death " Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I
will judge you according to Allah's Laws: O man, as for your sheep and slave
girl, they are to be returned to you." Then the Prophet had the man's son
flogged one hundred stripes and exiled for one year, and ordered Unais
Al-Aslami to go to the wife of the other man, and if she confessed, stone her
to death. She confessed and was stoned to death.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 827:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Abu Bakr came to me while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his
head on my thigh. Abu Bakr said (to me), "You have detained Allah's
Apostle and the people, and there is no water in this place." So he
admonished me and struck my flanks with his hand, and nothing could stop me
from moving except the reclining of Allah's Apostle (on my thigh), and then
Allah revealed the Divine Verse of Tayammum.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 828:
Narrated Aisha:
Abu Bakr came to towards me and struck me violently with his fist
and said, "You have detained the people because of your necklace."
But I remained motionless as if I was dead lest I should awake Allah's Apostle
although that hit was very painful.

Sa'd bin Ubada said, "If I found a man with my wife, I would
kill him with the sharp side of my sword." When the Prophet heard that he
said, "Do you wonder at Sa'd's sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I
have more sense of ghira than Sa'd, and Allah has more sense of ghira than
I."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 830:

A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle and said, "My wife has
delivered a black child." The Prophet said to him, "Have you
camels?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "What color
are they?" He replied, "They are red." The Prophet further
asked, "Are any of them gray in color?" He replied, "Yes."
The Prophet asked him, "Whence did that grayness come?" He said,
"I thing it descended from the camel's ancestors." Then the Prophet
said (to him), "Therefore, this child of yours has most probably inherited
the color from his ancestors."

Allah's Apostle forbade Al-Wisal (fasting continuously for more
than one day without taking any meals). A man from the Muslims said, "But
you do Al-Wisal, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle I said, "Who
among you is similar to me? I sleep and my Lord makes me eat and drink."
When the people refused to give up Al-Wisal, the Prophet fasted along with them
for one day, and did not break his fast but continued his fast for another day,
and when they saw the crescent, the Prophet said, "If the crescent had not
appeared, I would have made you continue your fast (for a third day)," as
if he wanted to punish them for they had refused to give up Al-Wisal.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:
I witnessed the case of Lian (the case of a man who charged his
wife for committing illegal sexual intercourse when I was fifteen years old.
The Prophet ordered that they be divorced, and the husband said, "If I
kept her, I would be a liar." I remember that Az-Zubair also said,
"(It was said) that if that woman brought forth the child with such-and-such
description, her husband would prove truthful, but if she brought it with
such-and-such description looking like a Wahra (a red insect), he would prove
untruthful." I heard Az-Zubair also saying, "Finally she gave birth
to a child of description which her husband disliked .
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 838:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
Ibn 'Abbas mentioned the couple who had taken the oath of Lian.
'Abdullah bin Shaddad said (to him), "Was this woman about whom Allah's
Apostle said, 'If I were ever to stone to death any woman without witnesses. (I
would have stoned that woman to death)?' Ibn 'Abbas replied," No, that
lady exposed herself (by her suspicious behavior)."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 839:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Lian was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet, Asim bin Adi
said a statement about it, and when he left, a man from his tribe came to him
complaining that he had seen a man with his wife. Asim said, "I have been
put to trial only because of my statement." So he took the man to the
Prophet and the man told him about the incident. The man (husband) was of
yellow complexion, thin, and of lank hair, while the man whom he had accused of
having been with his wife, was reddish brown with fat thick legs and fat body.
The Prophet said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Later on the lady
delivered a child resembling the man whom the husband had accused of having
been with her. So the Prophet made them take the oath of Lian. A man said to
Ibn Abbas in the gathering, "Was that the same lady about whom the Prophet
said, "If I were to stone any lady (for committing illegal sexual
intercourse) to death without witnesses, I would have stoned that lade to
death?" Ibn Abbas said, "No, that was another lady who used to behave
in such a suspicious way among the Muslims that one might accuse her of
committing illegal sexual intercourse."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 840:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Avoid the seven great destructive
sins." They (the people!) asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What are they?"
He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah; to practice sorcery; to
kill the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to
Islamic law); to eat up usury (Riba), to eat up the property of an orphan; to
give one's back to the enemy and freeing from the battle-field at the time of
fighting and to accuse chaste women who never even think of anything touching
chastity and are good believers."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 841:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet) saying, "If somebody
slanders his slave and the slave is free from what he says, he will be flogged
on the Day of Resurrection unless the slave is really as he has described
him."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 842:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A man came to the Prophet and said, "I beseech you to judge
us according to Allah's Laws." Then his opponent who was wiser than he,
got up and said, "He has spoken the truth. So judge us according to
Allah's Laws and please allow me (to speak), O Allah's Apostle." The
Prophet said, "Speak." He said, "My son was a laborer for the
family of this man and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife,
and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a ransom (for my son), but I asked
the religious learned people (regarding this case), and they informed me that
my son should be flogged one-hundred stripes, and be exiled for one year, and
the wife of this man should be stoned (to death)."The Prophet said,
"By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will Judge you (in this case)
according to Allah's Laws. The one-hundred (sheep) and the slave shall be
returned to you and your son shall be flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled
for one year. And O Unais! Go in the morning to the wife of this man and ask
her, and if she confesses, stone her to death." She confessed and he
stoned her to death.
