Sahih al-Bukhari 6590 (Book 86, Hadith 65)
Allah’s Laws.” The other who was more wise said, “Yes, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), judge us according to
Allah’s Laws and allow me to speak (first)” The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, ‘Speak ” He said, “My son was a
laborer for this man, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and the people told me
that my son should be stoned to death, but I have given one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a
ransom (expiation) for my son’s sin. Then I asked the religious learned people (about It), and they told
me that my son should he flogged one-hundred stripes and should be exiled for one year, and only the
wife of this man should be stoned to death ” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is,
I will judge you according to Allah’s Laws: O man, as for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be
returned to you.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) had the man’s son flogged one hundred stripes and 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. She confessed and was stoned to death.
