أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، وَشِبْلٍ، قَالُوا كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ إِلاَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ . فَقَامَ خَصْمُهُ - وَكَانَ أَفْقَهَ مِنْهُ - فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " قُلْ " . قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَخَادِمٍ - وَكَأَنَّهُ أُخْبِرَ أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِهِ الرَّجْمَ فَافْتَدَى مِنْهُ - ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ رِجَالاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَّا الْمِائَةُ شَاةٍ وَالْخَادِمُ فَرَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ اغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا " . فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَرَجَمَهَا .
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah, Zaid bin Khalid, and Shibl that they were with the Prophet when a man stood and said, ‘I adjure you by Allah to judge between us according to the Book of Allah.’ His opponent, who was more knowledgeable, stood and said, ‘He is right; judge between us according to the Book of Allah.’ The Prophet said, ‘Speak.’ The man said, ‘My son worked for this man and committed adultery with his wife. I ransomed him from the punishment with one hundred sheep and a servant’—it seems he had been told his son was to be stoned and paid the ransom to avert it. ‘Then I asked some knowledgeable men, who told me that my son should receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for a year.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘By the One in whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah, Mighty and Sublime. The one hundred sheep and the servant are returned to you. Your son is to receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for a year. Unais, go tomorrow to this man’s wife; if she confesses, stone her.’ Unais went to her the next day. She confessed, and he had her stoned.
