سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4532
Narrated Abu Hurairah: That Saad bin Ubadah said: Messenger of Allah! If a man finds a man with his wife, should he kill him ? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No. Saad: Why not, by Him who has honoured you with truth ? The Prophet ﷺ said: Listen to what your chief is saying. The narrator Abd al-Wahhab said: (Listen) to what Saad is saying.
