حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ الْمَعْنَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

A man committed fornication with a woman. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered regarding him and the prescribed punishment of flogging was inflicted on him. He was then informed that he was married. So he commanded regarding him and he was stoned to death. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Muhammad b. Bakr al-Barsani from Ibn Juraij as a statement of Jabir, and Abu 'Asim has transmitted it from Ibn Juraid similar to that of Ibn Wahb. He did not mention the Prophet ﷺ. But he said: A man committed fornication, but did not know that he was married ; so he was flogged. It was then known that he was married, so he was stoned to death.
Notes
قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْبُرْسَانِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَى جَابِرٍ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ بِنَحْوِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلاً زَنَى فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِإِحْصَانِهِ فَجُلِدَ ثُمَّ عَلِمَ بِإِحْصَانِهِ فَرُجِمَ
machine translationAbū Dāwūd said: Muḥammad b. Bakr al-Bursānī narrated this hadith from Ibn Jurayj as a statement of Jābir (mawqūf). Abū ʿĀṣim narrated it from Ibn Jurayj similarly to Ibn Wahb, without mentioning the Prophet ﷺ. He said: A man committed adultery and it was not known that he was muḥṣan (married), so he was flogged. Then it became known that he was muḥṣan, so he was stoned.

- Aḥmad ibn Shuʿayb al-Nasāʾī
لا نعلم أحدا رفعه غير ابن وهب ووقفه هو الصواب ورفعه خطأ
machine translationWe do not know anyone who raised it to the Prophet (marfūʿ) other than Ibn Wahb. Its being a statement of the Companion (mawqūf) is the correct report, and raising it to the Prophet is an error.
