sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to you." Then the Prophet had the man's son flogged one hundred stripes and<br />

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.<br />

She confessed and was stoned to death.<br />

Hadith 8.609<br />

Ibn Abbas<br />

Narrated by<br />

I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the Prophet, who said, "Allah has written for<br />

the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at<br />

something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the inner self<br />

wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation."<br />

Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 41.2<br />

Stoning<br />

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibn al-Musayyab that a man from the Aslam tribe came to Abu Bakr as-<br />

Siddiq and said to him, "I have committed adultery." Abu Bakr said to him, "Have you mentioned this to anyone else?" He<br />

said, "No." Abu Bakr said to him, "Then cover it up with the veil of Allah. Allah accepts tawba from his slaves." His self was<br />

still unsettled, so he went to Umar ibn al-Khattab. He told him the same as he had said to Abu Bakr, and Umar told him the<br />

same as Abu Bakr had said to him. His self was still not settled so he went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him<br />

and grant him peace, and said to him, "I have committed adultery," insistently. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him<br />

and grant him peace, turned away from him three times. Each time the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant<br />

him peace, turned away from him until it became too much. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him<br />

peace, questioned his family, "Does he have an illness which affects his mind, or is he mad?" They said, "Messenger of<br />

Allah, by Allah, he is well." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Unmarried or married?"<br />

They said, "Married, Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave the order<br />

and he was stoned.<br />

Hadith 2247 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah Ibn Abbas<br />

Hilal ibn Umayyah was one of three people whose repentance was accepted by Allah. One night he returned from his land<br />

and found a man with his wife. He witnessed with his eyes and heard with his ears. He did not threaten him till the morning.<br />

Next day he went to the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) in the morning, and said: Apostle of Allah! I came to my wife at<br />

night and found a man with her. I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon<br />

him) disliked what he described and he took it seriously. Thereupon the following Qur'anic verse came down: "And those<br />

who make charges against their spouses but have no witnesses except themselves, let the testimony of one of them...."<br />

When the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) came to himself (after the revelation ended), he said: Glad tidings for you,<br />

Hilal. Allah, the Exalted, has made it easy and, a way out for you. Hilal said: I expected that from my Lord. The Apostle of<br />

Allah (peace be upon him) said: Send for her. She then came. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) recited (the verses)<br />

to them that the punishment in the next world was more severe than that in this world. Hilal said: I swear by Allah, I spoke<br />

the truth against her. She said: He told a lie. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Apply the method of invoking<br />

curses on each other. Hilal was told: Bear witness. So he bore witness before Allah four times that he spoke the truth. When<br />

he was about to utter a fifth time, he was told: Hilal, fear Allah, for the punishment in this world is easier than that in the next<br />

world; and this is the deciding one that will surely cause punishment to you. He said: I swear by Allah. Allah will not punish<br />

me for this (act), as He did not cause me to be flogged for this (act). So he bore witness a fifth time invoking the curse of<br />

Allah on him if he was one of those who told lies. Then the people said to her: Testify. So she gave testimony before Allah<br />

that he was a liar. When she was going to testify a fifth time, she was told: Fear Allah, for the punishment in this world is<br />

easier than that in the next world. This is the deciding one that will surely cause punishment to you. She hesitated for a<br />

moment, and then said: By Allah, I shall not disgrace my people. So she testified a fifth time invoking the curse of Allah on<br />

her if he spoke the truth. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) separated them from each other, and decided that the<br />

child would not be attributed to its father. Neither she nor her child would be accused of adultery. He who accused her or her<br />

child would be liable to punishment. He also decided that there would be no dwelling and maintenance for her (from the<br />

husband), as they were separated without divorce. He then said: If she gives birth to a child with reddish hair, light buttocks,<br />

wide belly and light shins, he will be the child of Hilal. If she bears a dusky child with curly hair, fat limbs, fat shins and fat<br />

buttock he will be the child of the one who was accused of adultery. She gave birth to a dusky child with curly hair, fat limbs,<br />

fat shins and fat buttocks. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Had there been no oaths I should have dealt with<br />

her severely. Ikrimah said: Later on he became the chief of the tribe of Mudar. He was not attributed to his father.<br />

Hadith 4385<br />

Ali ibn AbuTalib<br />

Narrated by<br />

Ibn Abbas said: A lunatic woman who had committed adultery was brought to Umar. He consulted the people and ordered<br />

that she should be stoned. Ali ibn AbuTalib passed by and said: What is the matter with this (woman)? They said: This is a<br />

lunatic woman belonging to a certain family. She has committed adultery. Umar has given orders that she should be stoned.<br />

He said: Take her back. He then came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful, do you not know that there are three<br />
