حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ ابْنَ عَمِّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ
جَاءَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ أَصَابَ امْرَأَةً حَرَامًا أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ فَقَالَ أَنِكْتَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ حَتَّى غَابَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَمَا يَغِيبُ الْمِرْوَدُ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ وَالرِّشَاءُ فِي الْبِئْرِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الزِّنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ أَتَيْتُ مِنْهَا حَرَامًا مَا يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ حَلاَلاً قَالَ فَمَا تُرِيدُ بِهَذَا الْقَوْلِ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ انْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا الَّذِي سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ تَدَعْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى رُجِمَ رَجْمَ الْكَلْبِ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُمَا ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً حَتَّى مَرَّ بِجِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ شَائِلٍ بِرِجْلِهِ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ فَقَالاَ نَحْنُ ذَانِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ انْزِلاَ فَكُلاَ مِنْ جِيفَةِ هَذَا الْحِمَارِ فَقَالاَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ فَمَا نِلْتُمَا مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيكُمَا آنِفًا أَشَدُّ مِنْ أَكْلٍ مِنْهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ الآنَ لَفِي أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْقَمِسُ فِيهَا

A man of the tribe of Aslam came to the Prophet ﷺ and testified four times against himself that he had had illicit intercourse with a woman, while all the time the Prophet ﷺ was turning away from him. Then when he confessed a fifth time, he turned round and asked: Did you have intercourse with her? He replied: Yes. He asked: Have you done it so that your sexual organ penetrated hers? He replied: Yes. He asked: Have you done it like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case and a rope in a well? He replied: Yes. He asked: Do you know what fornication is? He replied: Yes. I have done with her unlawfully what a man may lawfully do with his wife. He then asked: What do you want from what you have said? He said: I want you to purify me. So he gave orders regarding him and he was stoned to death. Then the Prophet ﷺ heard one of his companions saying to another: Look at this man whose fault was concealed by Allah but who would not leave the matter alone, so that he was stoned like a dog. He said nothing to them but walked on for a time till he came to the corpse of an ass with its legs in the air. He asked: Where are so and so? They said: Here we are, Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He said: Go down and eat some of this ass's corpse. They replied: Messenger of Allah! Who can eat any of this? He said: The dishonour you have just shown to your brother is more serious than eating some of it. By Him in Whose hand my soul is, he is now among the rivers of Paradise and plunging into them.

machine translationAbū al-Zubayr narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Ibn Jurayj narrated it from Abū al-Zubayr, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Ṣāmit, the cousin of Abū Hurayrah. Ḥajjāj b. Ḥajjāj and Zayd b. Abī Unaysah contradicted him, and narrated it from Abū al-Zubayr, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Hiḍhāḍ, from Abū Hurayrah. Ḥammād b. Salamah said: from Abū al-Zubayr, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Hiḍhāḍ, from Abū Hurayrah. Ḥusayn b. Wāqid said: from Abū al-Zubayr, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Hiḍāb, the nephew of Abū Hurayrah, from Abū Hurayrah. And Bukayr b. Maʿrūf, who is a Khurasani and not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī), said: from Abū al-Zubayr, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, the cousin of Abū Hurayrah, from Abū Hurayrah, and he did not give his lineage.
