Punishment of Disbelievers at War with Allah and His Apostle

Punishment of Disbelievers at War with Allah and His Apostle










Volume 8, Book 82, Number 794:

Narrated Anas:

Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced

Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet
ordered
them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink,
their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they
had
recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades

(reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and
took
the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit
and
so they were (caught and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that
their
hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be
branded
with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs
should
not be cauterized, till they die.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 795:

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet cut off the hands and feet of the men belonging to the
tribe of 'Uraina and did not cauterise (their bleeding limbs) till
they died.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 796:

Narrated Anas:

A group of people from 'Ukl (tribe) came to the Prophet and they
were
living with the people of As-Suffa, but they became ill as the
climate
of Medina did not suit them, so they said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Provide
us with milk." The Prophet said, I see no other way for you than to

use the camels of Allah's Apostle." So they went and drank the milk

and urine of the camels, (as medicine) and became healthy and fat.
Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels away. When a
help-seeker came to Allah's Apostle, he sent some men in their
pursuit, and they were captured and brought before mid day. The
Prophet ordered for some iron pieces to be made red hot, and their
eyes were branded with them and their hands and feet were cut off
and
were not cauterized. Then they were put at a place called Al-Harra,

and when they asked for water to drink they were not given till
they
died. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and murder
and
fought against Allah and His Apostle.")

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 797:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A group of people from 'Ukl (or 'Uraina) tribe ----but I think he
said
that they were from 'Ukl came to Medina and (they became ill, so)
the
Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) she-camels and
told
them to go out and drink the camels' urine and milk (as a
medicine).
So they went and drank it, and when they became healthy, they
killed
the shepherd and drove away the camels. This news reached the
Prophet
early in the morning, so he sent (some) men in their pursuit and
they
were captured and brought to the Prophet before midday. He ordered
to
cut off their hands and legs and their eyes to be branded with
heated
iron pieces and they were thrown at Al-Harra, and when they asked
for
water to drink, they were not given water. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those

were the people who committed theft and murder and reverted to
disbelief after being believers (Muslims), and fought against Allah

and His Apostle").

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 798:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Seven (people) will be shaded by Allah by His
Shade
on the Day of Resurrection when there will be no shade except His
Shade. (They will be), a just ruler, a young man who has been
brought
up in the worship of Allah, a man who remembers Allah in seclusion
and
his eyes are then flooded with tears, a man whose heart is attached
to
mosques (offers his compulsory congregational prayers in the
mosque),
two men who love each other for Allah's Sake, a man who is called
by a
charming lady of noble birth to commit illegal sexual intercourse
with
her, and he says, 'I am afraid of Allah,' and (finally), a man who
gives in charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what
his
right hand has given."

jaws (i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him Paradise."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 800i:

Narrated Anas:

I will narrate to you a narration which nobody will narrate to you
after me. I heard that form the Prophet. I heard the Prophet
saying,
"The Hour sill not be established" or said: "From among the
portents
of the Hour is that the religious knowledge will betaken away (by
the
death of religious Scholars) and general ignorance (of religion)
will
appear; and the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common,
and
(open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, and men will
decrease
in number while women will increase so much so that, for fifty
women
there will only be one man to look after them."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 800e:

Narrated 'Ikrima from Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostles said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal
sexual
intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and
if
he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he
drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of

drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder,"
'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from
him?"
He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating
them,
and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like this, by
clasping his hands again.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 801:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The one who commits an illegal sexual
intercourse
is not a believer at the time of committing illegal sexual
intercourse
and a thief is not a believer at the time of committing theft and a

drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer at the time of
drinking.
Yet, (the gate of) repentance is open thereafter."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which is the biggest sin?" He said, "To

set up rivals to Allah by worshipping others though He alone has
created you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To kill your child

lest it should share your food." I asked, "What is next?" He said,
"To
commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor."

Rajam penalty ( i.e., stoning to death)?' He said, "Yes." I said,
"Before the revelation of Surat-ar-Nur or after it?" He replied, "I

don't Know."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

A man came to Allah's Apostle while he was in the mosque, and he
called him, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal
sexual intercourse.'" The Prophet turned his face to the other
side,
but that man repeated his statement four times, and after he bore
witness against himself four times, the Prophet called him, saying,

"Are you mad?" The man said, "No." The Prophet said, "Are you
married?" The man said, "Yes." Then the Prophet said, 'Take him
away
and stone him to death." Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: I was among the
ones who participated in stoning him and we stoned him at the
Musalla.
When the stones troubled him, he fled, but we over took him at
Al-Harra and stoned him to death.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 807:

Narrated 'Aisha:

Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abd bin Zam'a quarrelled with each other
(regarding a child). The Prophet said, "The boy is for you, O 'Abd
bin
Zam'a, for the boy is for (the owner) of the bed. O Sauda ! Screen
yourself from the boy." The sub-narrator, Al-Laith added (that the
Prophet also said), "And the stone is for the person who commits an

illegal sexual intercourse."

stone
is for the person who commits illegal sexual intercourse.'

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 809:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

A Jew and a Jewess were brought to Allah's Apostle on a charge of
committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet asked them.
"What is the legal punishment (for this sin) in your Book (Torah)?"

They replied, "Our priests have innovated the punishment of
blackening
the faces with charcoal and Tajbiya." 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "O

Allah's Apostle, tell them to bring the Torah." The Torah was
brought,
and then one of the Jews put his hand over the Divine Verse of the
Rajam (stoning to death) and started reading what preceded and what

followed it. On that, Ibn Salam said to the Jew, "Lift up your
hand."
Behold! The Divine Verse of the Rajam was under his hand. So
Allah's
Apostle ordered that the two (sinners) be stoned to death, and so
they
were stoned. Ibn 'Umar added: So both of them were stoned at the
Balat
and I saw the Jew sheltering the Jewess.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 810:

Narrated Jabir:

A man from the tribe of Aslam came to the Prophet and confessed
that
he had committed an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet turned
his
face away from him till the man bore witness against himself four
times. The Prophet said to him, "Are you mad?" He said "No." He
said,
"Are you married?" He said, "Yes." Then the Prophet ordered that he
be
stoned to death, and he was stoned to death at the Musalla. When
the
stones troubled him, he fled, but he was caught and was stoned till
he
died. The Prophet spoke well of him and offered his funeral prayer.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 811d:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

A person had sexual relation with his wife in the month of Ramadan
(while he was fasting), and he came to Allah's Apostle seeking his
verdict concerning that action. The Prophet said (to him), "Can you

afford to manumit a slave?" The man said, "No." The Prophet said,
"Can
you fast for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet
said,
"Then feed sixty poor persons."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 811e:

Narrated 'Aisha:

A man came to the Prophet in the mosque and said, "I am burnt
(ruined)!" The Prophet asked him, "With what (what have you done)?"
He
said, "I have had sexual relation with my wife in the month of
Ramadan
(while fasting)." The Prophet said to him, "Give in charity." He
said,
"I have nothing." The man sat down, and in the meantime there came a

person driving a donkey carrying food to the Prophet ..... (The
sub-narrator, 'Abdur Rahman added: I do not know what kind of food
it
was). On that the Prophet said, "Where is the burnt person?" The
man
said, "Here I am." The Prophet said to him, "Take this (food) and
give
it in charity (to someone)." The man said, "To a poorer person than
l?
My family has nothing to eat." Then the Prophet said to him, "Then

eat it yourselves."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 812:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

While I was with the Prophet a man came and said, "O Allah's
Apostle!
I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the legal

punishment on me'.' The Prophet did not ask him what he had done.
Then
the time for the prayer became due and the man offered prayer along

with the Prophet , and when the Prophet had finished his prayer,
the
man again got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed a
legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me
according
to Allah's Laws." The Prophet said, "Haven't you prayed with us?'
He
said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Allah has forgiven your sin." or
said,
"....your legally punishable sin."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 813:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

When Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (in order to confess), the

Prophet said to him, "Probably you have only kissed (the lady), or
winked, or looked at her?" He said, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" The
Prophet said, using no euphemism, "Did you have sexual intercourse
with her?" The narrator added: At that, (i.e. after his confession)

the Prophet ordered that he be stoned (to death).

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 814:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

A man from among the people, came to Allah's Apostle while Allah's
Apostle was sitting in the mosque, and addressed him, saying, "O
Allah's Apostle! I have committed an illegal sexual intercourse."
The
Prophet turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to

which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I
have committed an illegal intercourse." The Prophet turned his face
to
the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he
confessed
four times, the Prophet called him and said, "Are you mad?" He
said,
"No, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "Are you married?" He
said,
"Yes, O Allah's Apostle." The Prophet said (to the people), "Take
him
away and stone him to death." Ibn Shihab added, "I was told by one
who
heard Jabir, that Jabir said, 'I was among those who stoned the
man,
and we stoned him at the Musalla ('Id praying Place), and when the
stones troubled him, he jumped quickly and ran away, but we
overtook
him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death (there).' "

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 815:

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:

While we were with the Prophet , a man stood up and said (to the
Prophet ), "I beseech you by Allah, that you should judge us
according
to Allah's Laws." Then the man's opponent who was wiser than him,
got
up saying (to Allah's Apostle) "Judge us according to Allah's Law
and
kindly allow me (to speak)." The Prophet said, "'Speak." He said,
"My
son was a laborer working for this man and he committed an illegal
sexual intercourse with his wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a

slave as a ransom for my son's sin. Then I asked a learned man
about
this case and he informed me that my son should receive one hundred

lashes and be exiled for one year, and the man's wife should be
stoned
to death." The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I
will
judge you according to the Laws of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep
and
the slave are to be returned to you, and your son has to receive
one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O Unais! Go to the
wife
of this man, and if she confesses, then stone her to death." Unais
went to her and she confessed. He then stoned her to death.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 816:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

'Umar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people
may
say, "We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in
the
Holy Book," and consequently they may go astray by leaving an
obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty
of
Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse,
if
he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or
pregnancy or confession." Sufyan added, "I have memorized this
narration in this way." 'Umar added, "Surely Allah's Apostle
carried
out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 817:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

I used to teach (the Qur'an to) some people of the Muhajirln
(emigrants), among whom there was 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf. While I
was
in his house at Mina, and he was with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab during
'Umar's last Hajj, Abdur-Rahman came to me and said, "Would that
you
had seen the man who came today to the Chief of the Believers
('Umar),
saying, 'O Chief of the Believers! What do you think about
so-and-so
who says, 'If 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of
allegiance
to such-and-such person, as by Allah, the pledge of allegiance to
Abu
Bakr was nothing but a prompt sudden action which got established
afterwards.' 'Umar became angry and then said, 'Allah willing, I
will
stand before the people tonight and warn them against those people
who
want to deprive the others of their rights (the question of
rulership)."

'Abdur-Rahman said, "I said, 'O Chief of the believers! Do not do
that, for the season of Hajj gathers the riff-raff and the rubble,
and
it will be they who will gather around you when you stand to
address
the people. And I am afraid that you will get up and say something,

and some people will spread your statement and may not say what you

have actually said and may not understand its meaning, and may
interpret it incorrectly, so you should wait till you reach Medina,
as
it is the place of emigration and the place of Prophet's
Traditions,
and there you can come in touch with the learned and noble people,
and
tell them your ideas with confidence; and the learned people will
understand your statement and put it in its proper place.' On that,

'Umar said, 'By Allah! Allah willing, I will do this in the first
speech I will deliver before the people in Medina."

Ibn Abbas added: We reached Medina by the end of the month of
Dhul-Hijja, and when it was Friday, we went quickly (to the mosque)
as
soon as the sun had declined, and I saw Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin

Nufail sitting at the corner of the pulpit, and I too sat close to
him
so that my knee was touching his knee, and after a short while
'Umar
bin Al-Khattab came out, and when I saw him coming towards us, I
said
to Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail "Today 'Umar will say such a
thing as he has never said since he was chosen as Caliph." Said
denied
my statement with astonishment and said, "What thing do you expect
'Umar to say the like of which he has never said before?"

In the meantime, 'Umar sat on the pulpit and when the callmakers
for
the prayer had finished their call, 'Umar stood up, and having
glorified and praised Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then, I
am
going to tell you something which (Allah) has written for me to
say. I
do not know; perhaps it portends my death, so whoever understands
and
remembers it, must narrate it to the others wherever his mount
takes
him, but if somebody is afraid that he does not understand it, then
it
is unlawful for him to tell lies about me. Allah sent Muhammad with

the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah
revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam (the stoning of married person

(male & female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we
did
recite this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah's Apostle
did
carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him.

I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say,
'By
Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book,' and
thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has
revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any

married person (male & female), who commits illegal sexual
intercourse, if the required evidence is available or there is
conception or confession. And then we used to recite among the
Verses
in Allah's Book: 'O people! Do not claim to be the offspring of
other
than your fathers, as it is disbelief (unthankfulness) on your part

that you claim to be the offspring of other than your real father.'

Then Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not praise me excessively as Jesus,
son
of Marry was praised, but call me Allah's Slave and His Apostles.'
(O
people!) I have been informed that a speaker amongst you says, 'By
Allah, if 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of allegiance to

such-and-such person.' One should not deceive oneself by saying
that
the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was given suddenly and
it
was successful. No doubt, it was like that, but Allah saved (the
people) from its evil, and there is none among you who has the
qualities of Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of
allegiance to anybody among you without consulting the other
Muslims,
neither that person, nor the person to whom the pledge of
allegiance
was given, are to be supported, lest they both should be killed.

And no doubt after the death of the Prophet we were informed that
the
Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sa'da.
'Ali
and Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us, while the
emigrants
gathered with Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let's go to these
Ansari
brothers of ours.' So we set out seeking them, and when we
approached
them, two pious men of theirs met us and informed us of the final
decision of the Ansar, and said, 'O group of Muhajirin (emigrants) !

Where are you going?' We replied, 'We are going to these Ansari
brothers of ours.' They said to us, 'You shouldn't go near them.
Carry
out whatever we have already decided.' I said, 'By Allah, we will
go
to them.' And so we proceeded until we reached them at the shed of
Bani Sa'da. Behold! There was a man sitting amongst them and
wrapped
in something. I asked, 'Who is that man?' They said, 'He is Sa'd
bin
'Ubada.' I asked, 'What is wrong with him?' They said, 'He is
sick.'
After we sat for a while, the Ansar's speaker said, 'None has the
right to be worshipped but Allah,' and praising Allah as He
deserved,
he added, 'To proceed, we are Allah's Ansar (helpers) and the
majority
of the Muslim army, while you, the emigrants, are a small group and

some people among you came with the intention of preventing us from

practicing this matter (of caliphate) and depriving us of it.'

When the speaker had finished, I intended to speak as I had
prepared a
speech which I liked and which I wanted to deliver in the presence
of
Abu Bakr, and I used to avoid provoking him. So, when I wanted to
speak, Abu Bakr said, 'Wait a while.' I disliked to make him angry.
So
Abu Bakr himself gave a speech, and he was wiser and more patient
than
I. By Allah, he never missed a sentence that I liked in my own
prepared speech, but he said the like of it or better than it
spontaneously. After a pause he said, 'O Ansar! You deserve all
(the
qualities that you have attributed to yourselves, but this question

(of Caliphate) is only for the Quraish as they are the best of the
Arabs as regards descent and home, and I am pleased to suggest that

you choose either of these two men, so take the oath of allegiance
to
either of them as you wish. And then Abu Bakr held my hand and Abu
Ubada bin Abdullah's hand who was sitting amongst us. I hated
nothing
of what he had said except that proposal, for by Allah, I would
rather
have my neck chopped off as expiator for a sin than become the
ruler
of a nation, one of whose members is Abu Bakr, unless at the time
of
my death my own-self suggests something I don't feel at present.'

And then one of the Ansar said, 'I am the pillar on which the camel

with a skin disease (eczema) rubs itself to satisfy the itching
(i.e.,
I am a noble), and I am as a high class palm tree! O Quraish. There

should be one ruler from us and one from you.'

Then there was a hue and cry among the gathering and their voices
rose
so that I was afraid there might be great disagreement, so I said,
'O
Abu Bakr! Hold your hand out.' He held his hand out and I pledged
allegiance to him, and then all the emigrants gave the Pledge of
allegiance and so did the Ansar afterwards. And so we became
victorious over Sa'd bin Ubada (whom Al-Ansar wanted to make a
ruler).
One of the Ansar said, 'You have killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' I replied,

'Allah has killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' Umar added, "By Allah, apart
from
the great tragedy that had happened to us (i.e. the death of the
Prophet), there was no greater problem than the allegiance pledged
to
Abu Bakr because we were afraid that if we left the people, they
might
give the Pledge of allegiance after us to one of their men, in
which
case we would have given them our consent for something against our

real wish, or would have opposed them and caused great trouble. So
if
any person gives the Pledge of allegiance to somebody (to become a
Caliph) without consulting the other Muslims, then the one he has
selected should not be granted allegiance, lest both of them should
be
killed."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 818:

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Jihani:

I heard the Prophet ordering that an unmarried person guilty of
illegal sexual intercourse be flogged one-hundred stripes and be
exiled for one year. Umar bin Al-Khattab also exiled such a person,

and this tradition is still valid.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 819:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle judged that the unmarried person who was guilty of
illegal sexual intercourse be exiled for one year and receive the
legal punishment (i.e., be flogged with one-hundred stripes) .

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 820:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet cursed the effeminate men and those women who assume
the
similitude (manners) of men. He also said, "Turn them out of your
houses." He turned such-and-such person out, and 'Umar also turned
out
such-and-such person.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 821:

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:

A bedouin came to the Prophet while he (the Prophet) was sitting,
and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give your verdict according to Allah's
Laws
(in our case)." Then his opponent got up and said, "He has told the

truth, O Allah's Apostle! Decide his case according to Allah's
Laws.
My son was a laborer working for this person, and he committed
illegal
sexual intercourse with his wife, and the people told me that my
son
should be stoned to death, but I offered one-hundred sheep and a
slave
girl as a ransom for him. Then I asked the religious learned
people,
and they told me that my son should be flogged with one-hundred
stripes and be exiled for one year." The Prophet said, "By Him in
Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to Allah's Laws.
The
sheep and the slave girl will be returned to you and your son will
be
flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year. And you, O
Unais! Go to the wife of this man (and if she confesses), stone her
to
death." So Unais went in the morning and stoned her to death (after

she had confessed).

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 822:

Narrated Abu Huraira and Said bin Khalid:

The verdict of Allah's Apostle was sought about an unmarried slave
girl guilty of illegal intercourse. He replied, "If she commits
illegal sexual intercourse, then flog her (fifty stripes), and if
she
commits illegal sexual intercourse (after that for the second
time),
then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual
intercourse (for the third time), then flog her (fifty stripes) and

sell her for even a hair rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I am not sure
whether the Prophet ordered that she be sold after the third or
fourth
time of committing illegal intercourse."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 823:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "If a lady slave commits illegal sexual
intercourse
and she is proved guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, then she
should be flogged (fifty stripes) but she should not be admonished;

and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse again, then she
should
be flogged again but should not be admonished; and if she commits
illegal sexual intercourse for the third time, then she should be
sold
even for a hair rope."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 824:

Narrated Ash-Shaibani:

I asked 'Abdullah bin Abi 'Aufa about the Rajam (stoning somebody
to
death for committing illegal sexual intercourse). He replied, "The
Prophet carried out the penalty of Rajam," I asked, "Was that
before
or after the revelation of Surat-an-Nur?" He replied, "I do not
know."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 825:

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:

The jews came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned to him that a man
and a
lady among them had committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah's
Apostle said to them, "What do you find in the Torah regarding the
Rajam?" They replied, "We only disgrace and flog them with
stripes."
'Abdullah bin Salam said to them, 'You have told a lie the penalty
of
Rajam is in the Torah.' They brought the Torah and opened it. One
of
them put his hand over the verse of the Rajam and read what was
before
and after it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him, "Lift up your hand."
Where he lifted it there appeared the verse of the Rajam. So they
said, "O Muhammad! He has said the truth, the verse of the Rajam is
in
it (Torah)." Then Allah's Apostle ordered that the two persons
(guilty
of illegal sexual intercourse) be stoned to death, and so they were

stoned, and I saw the man bending over the woman so as to protect
her
from the stones.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 826:

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:

Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah's Apostle. One of
them
said, "Judge us according to Allah's Laws." The other who was more
wise said, "Yes, Allah's Apostle, judge us according to Allah's
Laws
and allow me to speak (first)" The Prophet 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 Apostle 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 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.

Narrated 'Aisha:

Abu Bakr came to me while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his
head
on my thigh. Abu Bakr said (to me), "You have detained Allah's
Apostle
and the people, and there is no water in this place." So he
admonished
me and struck my flanks with his hand, and nothing could stop me
from
moving except the reclining of Allah's Apostle (on my thigh), and
then
Allah revealed the Divine Verse of Tayammum.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 828:

Narrated Aisha:

Abu Bakr came to towards me and struck me violently with his fist
and
said, "You have detained the people because of your necklace." But I

remained motionless as if I was dead lest I should awake Allah's
Apostle although that hit was very painful.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 829:

Narrated Al-Mughira:

Sa'd bin Ubada said, "If I found a man with my wife, I would kill
him
with the sharp side of my sword." When the Prophet heard that he
said,
"Do you wonder at Sa'd's sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I
have
more sense of ghira than Sa'd, and Allah has more sense of ghira
than
I."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 830:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle and said, "My wife has delivered a

black child." The Prophet said to him, "Have you camels?" He
replied,
"Yes." The Prophet said, "What color are they?" He replied, "They
are
red." The Prophet further asked, "Are any of them gray in color?"
He
replied, "Yes." The Prophet asked him, "Whence did that grayness
come?" He said, "I thing it descended from the camel's ancestors."
Then the Prophet said (to him), "Therefore, this child of yours has

most probably inherited the color from his ancestors."

which is assigned by Allah."

exceeds the flogging of the ten stripes, except if one is guilty of
a
crime necessitating a legal punishment prescribed by Allah."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle forbade Al-Wisal (fasting continuously for more
than
one day without taking any meals). A man from the Muslims said,
"But
you do Al-Wisal, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle I said, "Who
among you is similar to me? I sleep and my Lord makes me eat and
drink." When the people refused to give up Al-Wisal, the Prophet
fasted along with them for one day, and did not break his fast but
continued his fast for another day, and when they saw the crescent,

the Prophet said, "If the crescent had not appeared, I would have
made
you continue your fast (for a third day)," as if he wanted to
punish
them for they had refused to give up Al-Wisal.

it to their dwelling places.

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 837:

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

I witnessed the case of Lian (the case of a man who charged his
wife
for committing illegal sexual intercourse when I was fifteen years
old. The Prophet ordered that they be divorced, and the husband
said,
"If I kept her, I would be a liar." I remember that Az-Zubair also
said, "(It was said) that if that woman brought forth the child
with
such-and-such description, her husband would prove truthful, but if

she brought it with such-and-such description looking like a Wahra
(a
red insect), he would prove untruthful." I heard Az-Zubair also
saying, "Finally she gave birth to a child of description which her

husband disliked .

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 838:

Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:

Ibn 'Abbas mentioned the couple who had taken the oath of Lian.
'Abdullah bin Shaddad said (to him), "Was this woman about whom
Allah's Apostle said, 'If I were ever to stone to death any woman
without witnesses. (I would have stoned that woman to death)?' Ibn
'Abbas replied," No, that lady exposed herself (by her suspicious
behavior)."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 839:

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Lian was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet, Asim bin Adi
said a
statement about it, and when he left, a man from his tribe came to
him
complaining that he had seen a man with his wife. Asim said, "I
have
been put to trial only because of my statement." So he took the man
to
the Prophet and the man told him about the incident. The man
(husband)
was of yellow complexion, thin, and of lank hair, while the man
whom
he had accused of having been with his wife, was reddish brown
with
fat thick legs and fat body. The Prophet said, "O Allah! Reveal the

truth." Later on the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom

the husband had accused of having been with her. So the Prophet
made
them take the oath of Lian. A man said to Ibn Abbas in the
gathering,
"Was that the same lady about whom the Prophet said, "If I were to
stone any lady (for committing illegal sexual intercourse) to death

without witnesses, I would have stoned that lade to death?" Ibn
Abbas
said, "No, that was another lady who used to behave in such a
suspicious way among the Muslims that one might accuse her of
committing illegal sexual intercourse."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 840:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Avoid the seven great destructive sins." They
(the
people!) asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What are they?" He said, "To
join
partners in worship with Allah; to practice sorcery; to kill the
life
which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to
Islamic law); to eat up usury (Riba), to eat up the property of an
orphan; to give one's back to the enemy and freeing from the
battle-field at the time of fighting and to accuse chaste women who

never even think of anything touching chastity and are good
believers."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 841:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet) saying, "If somebody slanders his

slave and the slave is free from what he says, he will be flogged
on
the Day of Resurrection unless the slave is really as he has
described
him."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 842:




Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:

A man came to the Prophet and said, "I beseech you to judge us
according to Allah's Laws." Then his opponent who was wiser than
he,
got up and said, "He has spoken the truth. So judge us according to

Allah's Laws and please allow me (to speak), O Allah's Apostle."
The
Prophet said, "Speak." He said, "My son was a laborer for the
family
of this man and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his
wife,
and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a ransom (for my son),
but
I asked the religious learned people (regarding this case), and
they
informed me that my son should be flogged one-hundred stripes, and
be
exiled for one year, and the wife of this man should be stoned (to
death)."The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will
Judge you (in this case) according to Allah's Laws. The one-hundred

(sheep) and the slave shall be returned to you and your son shall
be
flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year. And O
Unais!
Go in the morning to the wife of this man and ask her, and if she
confesses, stone her to death." She confessed and he stoned her to
death.
