Chapter 86: Limits and Punishments set by Allah (Hudood)
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid: Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ). One of them said, "Judge us according to
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.
