Sahih al-Bukhari 6585 (Book 86, Hadith 60)
your verdict according to Allah’s Laws (in our case).” Then his opponent got up and said, “He has told
the truth, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Decide his case according to Allah’s Laws. My son was a laborer
working for this person, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and the people told
me that my son should be stoned to death, but I offered one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a
ransom for him. Then I asked the religious learned people, and they told me that my son should be
flogged with one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose
Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to Allah’s Laws. The sheep and the slave girl will be
returned to you and your son will be flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year. And you,
O Unais! Go to the wife of this man (and if she confesses), stone her to death.” So Unais went in the
morning and stoned her to death (after she had confessed).
“ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ، أَمَّا الْغَنَمُ وَالْوَلِيدَةُ فَرَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ، وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أُنَيْسُ فَاغْدُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَارْجُمْهَا ”. فَغَدَا أُنَيْسٌ فَرَجَمَهَا.
