حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَا جَائَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِکِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَامَ خَصْمُهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِکِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ إِنَّ ابْنِي کَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَی هَذَا فَزَنَی بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَقَالُوا لِي عَلَی ابْنِکَ الرَّجْمُ فَفَدَيْتُ ابْنِي مِنْهُ بِمِائَةٍ مِنْ الْغَنَمِ وَوَلِيدَةٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا عَلَی ابْنِکَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَکُمَا بِکِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَمَّا الْوَلِيدَةُ وَالْغَنَمُ فَرَدٌّ عَلَيْکَ وَعَلَی ابْنِکَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أُنَيْسُ لِرَجُلٍ فَاغْدُ عَلَی امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَارْجُمْهَا فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا أُنَيْسٌ فَرَجَمَهَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2696
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: A bedouin came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Judge between us according to Allah's Laws." His opponent got up and said, "He is right. Judge between us according to Allah's Laws." The bedouin said, "My son was a laborer working for this man, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that my son should be stoned to death; so, in lieu of that, I paid a ransom of one hundred sheep and a slave girl to save my son. Then I asked the learned scholars who said, "Your son has to be lashed one-hundred lashes and has to be exiled for one year." The Prophet said, "No doubt I will judge between you according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to go back to you, and your son will get a hundred lashes and one year exile." He then addressed somebody, "O Unais! go to the wife of this (man) and stone her to death" So, Unais went and stoned her to death.
