Abu Huraira reported that a person from amongst the Muslims came to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) while he was in the mosque. He called him saying: Allaah's Messenger. I have committed adultery. He (the Prophet) turned away from him, He (again) came round facing him and said to him: Allaah's Messenger, I have committed adultery. He (the Prophet) turned away until he did that four times, and as he testified four times against his own self, Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) called him and said: Are you mad? He said: No. He (again) said: Are you married? He said: Yes. Thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Take him and stone him. Ibn Shihab (one of the narrators) said: One who had heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah saying this informed me thus: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at the place of prayer (either that of 'Id or a funeral). When the stones hurt him, he ran away. We caught him in the Harra and stoned him (to death). This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters. |
