Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حُنَيْنٍ وَيُنْبَزُ قُرْقُورًا أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ بِجَارِيَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَرُفِعَ إِلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ فَقَالَ لأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيهَا بِقَضِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنْ كَانَتْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَكَ جَلَدْتُكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَكَ رَجَمْتُكَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ فَكَانَتْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَهُ فَجُلِدَ مِائَةً ‏.‏ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَى حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَىَّ بِهَذَا ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Ma'mar reported to us; he said: Habban narrated to us; he said: Aban narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Khalid ibn Urfutah, from Habib ibn Salim, from al-Nu'man ibn Bashir: A man named Abd al-Rahman ibn Hunayn, nicknamed Qurqur, had intercourse with his wife’s enslaved woman and was brought before al-Nu'man ibn Bashir. He said, ‘I will judge this case according to the ruling of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): if she had made her lawful to you, I will flog you; if she had not made her lawful to you, I will stone you.’ She had made her lawful to him, so he was flogged one hundred times. Qatadah said: ‘I wrote to Habib ibn Salim, and he wrote this back to me.’

Translation notes
  • The report states that the wife had authorized the man’s access to her enslaved woman, and that he consequently received one hundred lashes; the alternate condition and penalty are also retained.
