English narration

Narrated by سهل بن سعد الساعدي

Narrated Sahl ibn Saad: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and made acknowledgment before him that he had committed fornication with a woman whom he named. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent someone to the woman and he asked her about it. She denied that she had committed fornication. So he gave him the prescribed punishment of lashes and left her.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَاهُ فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ أَنَّهُ زَنَى بِامْرَأَةٍ سَمَّاهَا لَهُ ، فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ ، فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْكَرَتْ أَنْ تَكُونَ زَنَتْ ، فَجَلَدَهُ الْحَدَّ وَتَرَكَهَا
