Sahih al-Bukhari 6579 (Book 86, Hadith 54)
that you should judge us according to Allah’s Laws.” Then the man’s opponent who was wiser than
him, got up saying (to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)) “Judge us according to Allah’s Law and kindly allow me (to
speak).” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “‘Speak.” He said, “My son was a laborer working for this man and he
committed an illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a
ransom for my son’s sin. Then I asked a learned man about this case and he informed me that my son
should receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year, and the man’s wife should be stoned to
death.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to the Laws
of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep and the slave are to be returned to you, and your son has to receive
one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O Unais! Go to the wife of this man, and if she
confesses, then stone her to death.” Unais went to her and she confessed. He then stoned her to death.
