Sahih al-Bukhari 6392 (Book 83, Hadith 13)
Judge between us according to Allah’s Laws.” The other who was wiser, said, “Yes, O Allah’s
Apostle! Judge between us according to Allah’s Laws and allow me to speak. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“Speak.” He said, “My son was a laborer serving this (person) and he committed illegal sexual
intercourse with his wife, The people said that my son is to be stoned to death, but I ransomed him
with one-hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the learned people, who informed me that my
son should receive one hundred lashes and will be exiled for one year, and stoning will be the lot for
the man’s wife.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Indeed, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge
between you according to Allah’s Laws: As for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to
you.” Then he scourged his son one hundred lashes and exiled him for one year. Then Unais Al-
Aslami was ordered to go to the wife of the second man, and if she confessed (the crime), then stone
her to death. She did confess, so he stoned her to death.
