«إِقَامَةُ حَدٍّ بِأَرْضٍ خَيْرٌ لِأَهْلِهَا مِنْ مَطَرِ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا»
✧ "Carrying out a legal penalty in a land is better for its people than forty mornings of rain."
«حَدٌّ يُقَامُ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مَطَرِ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا»
✧ "A legal penalty carried out in the earth is better than forty mornings of rain."
جَاءَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ بِالزِّنَى يَقُولُ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً حَرَامًا وَفِي ذَلِكَ يَعْرِضُ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَهُ «أَنِكْتَهَا؟ » فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «هَلْ غَابَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ فِيهَا كَمَا يَغِيبُ الْمِرْوَدُ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ وَالرِّشَاءُ فِي الْبِئْرِ؟ » فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الزِّنَا؟ » قَالَ نَعَمْ أَتَيْتُ مِنْهَا حَرَامًا مِثْلَ مَا يَأْتِي الرَّجُلَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ حَلَالًا قَالَ «فَمَا تُرِيدُ بِهَذَا الْقَوْلِ؟ » قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ فَرُجِمَ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا الَّذِي سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ تَدَعْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى رُجِمَ رَجْمَ الْكَلْبِ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْهُمَا فَمَرَّ بِجِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ شَائِلٍ بِرِجْلِهِ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ؟ » فَقَالَا نَحْنُ ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا «كُلَا مِنْ جِيفَةِ هَذَا الْحِمَارِ» فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا نِلْتُمَا مِنْ عِرْضِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ آنِفًا أَشَدُّ مِنْ أَكَلِ هَذِهِ الْجِيفَةِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ الْآنَ فِي أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ»
✧ Al-Aslami came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and testified against himself four times of fornication, saying, "I had unlawful intercourse with a woman." All the while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him until he came forward the fifth time. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Did you penetrate her?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Did that part of you disappear into her as the kohl stick disappears into the kohl container, and the rope into the well?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Do you know what fornication is?" He said, "Yes, I had unlawful intercourse with her, just as a man has lawful intercourse with his wife." He said, "What do you intend with this statement?" He said, "I want you to purify me." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that he be stoned, and he was stoned. He heard two men from his companions, one saying to the other, "Look at this man whom Allah had concealed, but his soul did not leave him alone until he was stoned like the stoning of a dog." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent about them. Then he passed by the carcass of a donkey with its leg raised, and said, "Where are so-and-so and so-and-so?" They said, "Here we are, O Messenger of Allah." He said to them, "Eat from the carcass of this donkey." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah forgive you, who would eat from this?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What you attained from the honor of this man just now is worse than eating from this carcass. By the One in whose hand is my soul, he is now in the rivers of Paradise."
جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْأَبْعَدَ قَدْ زَنَى فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَيْلَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا الزِّنَى» ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَطُرِدَ وَأُخْرِجَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْأَبْعَدَ قَدْ زَنَى فَقَالَ «وَيْلَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا الزِّنَى» فَطُرِدَ وَأُخْرِجَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْأَبْعَدَ قَدْ زَنَى قَالَ «وَيْلَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا الزِّنَى» قَالَ أَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً حَرَامًا مِثْلَ مَا يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَطُرِدَ وَأُخْرِجَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْأَبْعَدَ قَدْ زَنَى قَالَ «وَيْلَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا الزِّنَى» قَالَ «أَدْخَلْتَ وَأَخْرَجْتَ؟ » قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ مَسَّ الْحِجَارَةِ تَحَمَّلَ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ فَرُجِمَ عِنْدَهَا حَتَّى مَاتَ فَمَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَأَبِيكَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْخَائِبُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مِرَارًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَرُدَّهُ حَتَّى قُتِلَ كَمَا يَقْتُلُ الْكَلْبُ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى مَرَّ بِجِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ شَائِلَةٌ رِجْلُهَا فَقَالَ «كُلَا مِنْ هَذَا» قَالَا مِنْ جِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَالَّذِي نِلْتُمَا مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيكُمَا أَكْثَرُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَفِي نَهَرٍ مِنْ أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَقَمَّصُ»
✧ Ma'iz b. Malik came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "The far one has committed fornication." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Woe to you, what makes you know what fornication is?" Then he ordered that he be driven away and expelled. Then he came to him a second time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the far one has committed fornication." He said, "Woe to you, what makes you know what fornication is?" He was driven away and expelled. Then he came to him a third time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the far one has committed fornication." He said, "Woe to you, what makes you know what fornication is?" He said, "I had unlawful intercourse with a woman, just as a man has intercourse with his wife." So he ordered that he be driven away and expelled. Then he came to him a fourth time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the far one has committed fornication." He said, "Woe to you, what makes you know what fornication is?" He said, "Did you insert and withdraw?" He said, "Yes." So he ordered that he be stoned. When he felt the touch of the stones, he fled to a tree and was stoned at it until he died. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by after that with a group of his companions. A man among them said to his companion, "By your father, this one is indeed the loser. He came to the Prophet ﷺ several times, each time he turned him away, until he was killed as a dog is killed." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent about them until he passed by the carcass of a donkey with its leg raised. He said, "Eat from this." They said, "From a donkey's carcass, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "What you attained from the honor of your brother is greater. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad ﷺ, he is surely in a river among the rivers of Paradise, plunging about."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا رَجَمَ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَتَخَضْخَضُ فِي أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ»
✧ When the Prophet ﷺ stoned Ma'iz b. Malik, he said, "I have seen him splashing about in the rivers of Paradise."
أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَهَمَّتْهُمْ شَأْنُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمَخْزُومِيَّةِ الَّتِي سَرَقَتْ فَقَالُوا مَنْ يُكَلِّمُ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا وَمَنْ يَجْتَرِئُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حُبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَشْفَعُ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ» ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاخْتَطَبَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ سَرَقَتْ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا»
The Quraish were anxious about the Makhzumi woman who had committed theft, They said: Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about her ? Then they said: Who will be bold enough for it but Uasmah bin Zaid, the prophet’s ﷺ friend! So Usamah spoke to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Are you interceding regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah ? He then got up and gave an address, saying: What destroyed your predecessors was just that when a person of rank among them committed a theft, They left him alone, and when a weak one of them committed a theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. I swear by Allah that if Fatimah daughter of Muhammad should steal, I would have her hand cut off. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4373)
أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَيَّ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلِيِّهَا فَقَالَ «أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَأْتِنِي بِهَا» فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ أَتَى بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُدَّ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا»
✧ A woman from Juhaynah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a legal offense, so carry out the penalty on me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called her guardian and said, "Be good to her until she gives birth to what is in her womb. When she has given birth, bring her to me." When she gave birth, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought to her, and he ordered that her clothes be fastened tightly on her, then ordered that she be stoned. Then he prayed over her. 'Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, you pray over her when she committed fornication?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "She has repented with a repentance that if it were divided among seventy of the people of Madinah, it would be sufficient for them. Have you found anything better than her giving her own soul to Allah, Mighty and Exalted?"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا رَجَمَ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَتَخَضْخَضُ فِي أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ»
✧ When the Prophet ﷺ stoned Ma'iz b. Malik, he said, "I have seen him splashing about in the rivers of Paradise."
أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا أَخَذَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ مِنَّا وَقَالَ «مَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْهُنَّ حَدًّا فَعُجِّلَتْ لَهُ عُقُوبَتُهُ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ وَمَنْ أُخِّرَ عَنْهُ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a covenant from us as he took from the women among us, and said, "Whoever among you commits a legal offense and his punishment is hastened for him, it is an expiation for him. Whoever is delayed, his affair is up to Allah; if He wills, He will have mercy on him, and if He wills, He will punish him."
«إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ أَمْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَهُمْ جَمِيعٌ فَاضْرِبُوهُ بِالسَّيْفِ كَائِنًا مَنْ كَانَ»
✧ "There will be troubles and troubles. Whoever wants to divide the matter of this community while they are united, strike him with the sword, whoever he may be."
«وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ رَجُلٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ التَّارِكُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ الْمُفَارِقُ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ وَالثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي وَالنَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ»
✧ "By the One besides whom there is no god, the blood of a man who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not lawful except for three persons: the one who abandons Islam and leaves the community, the previously married adulterer, and a life for a life."
«لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ الثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي وَالنَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالتَّارِكُ لِدِينِهِ الْمُفَارِقُ الْجَمَاعَةَ»
✧ "The blood of a Muslim man who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not lawful except for one of three: the previously married adulterer, a life for a life, and the one who abandons his religion and leaves the community."
«مَا ظَهْرَ فِي قَوْمٍ الزِّنَى وَالرِّبَا إِلَّا أَحَلُوا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عِقَابَ اللَّهِ جَلَّا وَعَلَا»
✧ "Adultery and usury do not appear among a people except that they make lawful for themselves the punishment of Allah, mighty and majestic."
«أَتَدْرُونَ مَنِ الْمُفْلِسُ؟ » قَالُوا الْمُفْلِسُ فِينَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَا دِرْهَمَ لَهُ وَلَا مَتَاعَ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْمُفْلِسُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِصَلَاتِهِ وَصِيَامِهِ وَزَكَاتِهِ وَقَدْ شَتَمَ هَذَا وَأَكَلَ مَالَ هَذَا وَسَفَكَ دَمَ هَذَا وَضَرَبَ هَذَا فَيَقْعُدُ فَيُعْطَى هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَإِنْ فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ مَا عَلَيْهِ أَخَذَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ فَطُرِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي النَّارِ»
✧ "Do you know who the bankrupt is?" They said, "The bankrupt among us, O Messenger of Allah, is one who has no dirham and no possessions." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The bankrupt from my nation is one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with his prayer, fasting, and zakah, but he has insulted this one, consumed the wealth of this one, shed the blood of this one, and struck this one. So he will sit and this one will be given from his good deeds and this one from his good deeds. If his good deeds run out before he fulfills what he owes, some of their sins will be taken and cast upon him, and then he will be cast into the Fire."
«لَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ حِينَ يَشْرَبُهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَالتَّوْبَةُ مَعْرُوضَةٌ بَعْدُ»
✧ "The thief does not steal when he steals while he is a believer, nor does the adulterer commit adultery when he commits adultery while he is a believer, nor does the wine drinker drink wine when he drinks it while he is a believer - and repentance is offered thereafter."
Sahih Ibn Hibban 4413Hasan sahih
«ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الشَّيْخُ الزَّانِي وَالْإِمَامُ الْكَذَّابُ وَالْعَائِلُ الْمَزْهُوُّ»

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَزْنِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَهَا {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا}
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "Which sin is greatest in the sight of Allah?" He said, "That you set up a rival to Allah while He created you." He said, "Then which?" He said, "That you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife." Then Allah sent down confirmation of it: {And those who do not call upon another god besides Allah, nor kill the soul that Allah has forbidden except by right, nor commit adultery - and whoever does that will meet a penalty}.
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ» قُلْتُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَعَظِيمٌ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ»
✧ I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Which sin is greatest?" He said, "That you set up a rival to Allah while He created you." I said, "Indeed that is great. Then which?" He said, "That you kill your child fearing he will eat with you." I said, "Then which?" He said, "That you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَزْنِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ}
✧ I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which sin is greatest?" He said, "That you set up a rival to Allah while He created you." I said, "Then which?" He said, "That you kill your child fearing he will eat with you." I said, "Then which?" He said, "That you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife." Then Allah sent down confirmation of the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: {And those who do not call upon another god besides Allah, nor kill the soul that Allah has forbidden except by right, nor commit adultery}.

«لَعَنِ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ تُخُومَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ كَمَهَ الْأَعْمَى عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَبَّ وَالِدَيْهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ وَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلَ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا فِي عَمَلِ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ
✧ "May Allah curse the one who slaughters for other than Allah. May Allah curse the one who alters the landmarks of the land. May Allah curse the one who misleads a blind person from the path. May Allah curse the one who insults his parents. May Allah curse the one who turns to other than his patrons. May Allah curse the one who does the deed of the people of Lot." He said it three times regarding the deed of the people of Lot.
«لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَجُلًا أَوِ امْرَأَةً فِي دُبُرِهِمَا»
✧ "Allah will not look at a man who has intercourse with a man or a woman in their anus."
«الْعَيْنَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَاللِّسَانُ يَزْنِي وَالْيَدَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَالرِّجْلَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَيُحَقِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ»
✧ "The two eyes commit adultery, the tongue commits adultery, the two hands commit adultery, and the two legs commit adultery; the private part then confirms it or denies it."
مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهُ بِاللَّمَمِ مِمَّا قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَى الْعَيْنُ النَّظَرُ وَزِنَى اللِّسَانِ النُّطْقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَتَمَنَّى ذَلِكَ وَتَشْتَهِي وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has decreed for the son of Adam his share of adultery which will inevitably happen to him; the adultery of the eyes is looking, the adultery of the tongue is speaking, and the soul desires and covets it, while the private parts either confirm or deny it."
«كُلُّ بَنِي آدَمَ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ مِنَ الزِّنَى أَدْرَكَهُ ذَلِكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنُ زِنَاهَا النَّظَرُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاهُ النُّطْقُ وَالْقَلْبُ زِنَاهُ التَّمَنِّي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ وَيُكَذِّبُ»
✧ "Every son of Adam has a share of adultery that has inevitably befallen him: the eye's adultery is the gaze; the tongue's adultery is speech; the heart's adultery is desire; and the private part either confirms it or denies it."
«كُلُّ بَنِي آدَمَ أَصَابَ مِنَ الزِّنَى لَا مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنُ زِنَاؤُهَا النَّظَرُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاؤُهَا اللَّمْسُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَهْوَى يُصَدِّقُهُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ الْفَرْجُ»

✧ I met Ubayy ibn Ka'b and said to him, "Ibn Mas'ud used to erase the two protective surahs (Al-Mu'awwidhatayn) from the Qur'ans and say they are not part of the Qur'an, so do not include in it what is not part of it." Ubayy replied, "It was said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he told us, and we say, 'How many verses do you consider in Surah Al-Ahzab?' I said, 'Seventy-three.' Ubayy then said, 'By Him in whose name oaths are taken, it was equivalent to Surah Al-Baqarah, and we used to read in it the verse of stoning: "The older man and the older woman, stone them absolutely as a deterrent punishment from Allah. And Allah is Mighty, Wise."'"

some jews came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned to him that a man and a women of their number had committed fornication. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them: What do you find in the Torah about stoning? They replied: We disgrace them and they should be flogged. ‘Abd Allah b. Salam said: You lie; it contains (instruction for) stoning. So they brought the Torah and spread it out, and one of them put his hand over the verse of stoning and read what preceded it and what followed it. ‘Abd Allah b. Salam said to him: Lift your hand. When he did so, the verse of stoning was seen to be in it. They then said: He has spoken the truth, Muhammad, the verse of stoning is in it.

He said: "My son was a hired worker for this man and he committed adultery with his wife. I was told that my son must be stoned, so I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the people of knowledge and they told me that my son must be flogged one hundred lashes and banished for a year, and that stoning is upon his wife."

He said: "So he ordered us, and we took him to Baqi' al-Gharqad. We did not dig a hole for him nor tie him up. We threw at him pieces of baked clay, bones, and stones. He complained and ran, so we ran after him. He came to the lava field and stood against us, and we threw its boulders at him until he became still. Then the Prophet ﷺ stood in the evening as a preacher, praised and extolled Allah, then said: 'Now then, what is the matter with people that when we go on a military expedition, one of them stays behind with our families, bleating like a he-goat? Indeed, it is incumbent upon me that no one is brought to me who did that except that I will make an example of him.'" He said: "And he did not revile him nor ask forgiveness for him."

✧ A woman came to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and said: "I have committed a sin while pregnant." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ ordered her to go away until she gave birth to what was in her womb. When she gave birth, she came, and he ordered her to go away and breastfeed it until she weaned it. She did so. Then she came, and he ordered her to give her child to some people, and she did so. Then she came, and he asked her to whom she had given it. She informed him that she gave it to so-and-so. He ordered her to take it and give it to the family of so-and-so, people from the Ansar. Then she came, and he ordered her to fasten her clothes tightly around her. Then he ordered her to be stoned. Then he shrouded her and prayed over her, then buried her. The people said: "He stoned her, then shrouded her, prayed over her, then buried her." The Prophet ﷺ heard what the people were saying and said: "She has repented with a repentance that if her repentance were divided among seventy men of the people of Madinah, it would suffice them."

"The first Li'an in Islam was when Hilal bin Umayyah accused Sharik bin As-Sahma' (of committing adultery) with his wife. He came to the Prophet and told him about that. The Prophet said: '(Bring) four witnesses, otherwise (you will feel) the Hadd punishment on your back.' And he repeated that several times. Hilal said to him: 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah! Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, knows that I am telling the truth, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will certainly reveal to you that which will spare my back from the whip.' While they were like that, the Verse of Li'an was revealed to him: 'As to those who accuse their wives.' He called Hilal and he bore witness four times by Allah that he was telling the truth, and the fifth time he invoked the curse of Allah upon him if he were lying. Then he called the woman and she bore witness four times by Allah that he was lying. When it came to the fourth or fifth time, the Messenger of Allah said: 'Stop her, for it will inevitably bring the punishment of Allah upon the liar.' She hesitated until we thought that she was going to confess, then she said: 'I will not dishonor my people today.' Then she went ahead with the oath. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Wait and see. If she produces a child who is white, with straight hair and Qadiy'a eyes, then he belongs to Hilal bin Umayyah, but if she produces a child who is dark with curly hair, of average size and with narrow calves, then he belongs to Sharik bin As-Sahma'.' She produced a child who was dark with curly hair, of average size and with narrow calves. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Had not the matter been settled by the Book of Allah, I would have punished her severely.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3469)

أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَفَرٌ مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «لَوْ خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ذَوْدِنَا فَكُنْتُمْ فِيهَا فَشَرِبْتُمْ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا» فَفَعَلُوا فَلَمَّا صَحُّوا قَامُوا إِلَى رَاعِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَرَجَعُوا كُفَّارًا وَاسْتَاقُوا ذَوْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ
✧ A group from 'Uraynah came to the Prophet ﷺ. He said to them: "If only you would go out to our small herd of camels and stay with them, and drink their milk and urine." They did so. When they recovered, they went to the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, killed him, returned as disbelievers, and drove away the small herd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent in pursuit of them. They were brought back, and he cut off their hands and feet and gouged out their eyes.
أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ وَعُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا أَهْلَ ضَرْعٍ وَلَمْ نَكُنْ أَهْلَ رِيفٍ وَاسْتَوْخَمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ «فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِذَوْدٍ وَرَاعي وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا لِيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا» فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحَرَّةِ كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِمْ وَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَاقُوا الذَّوْدَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ الطَّلَبَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحَرَّةِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا عَلَى حَالِهِمْ ذَلِكَ
✧ People from 'Ukl and 'Uraynah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spoke words of Islam. They said: "O Prophet of Allah, we were people of livestock, not of farmland," and they found Madinah unhealthy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered a small herd and a shepherd for them, and told them to go out and drink its urine and milk. They went until they were at the edge of the harrah, then they disbelieved after their Islam, killed the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and drove away the small herd. That reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he sent pursuers after them. They were brought back, and he blinded their eyes with heated iron, cut off their hands and feet, then left them at the edge of the harrah until they died in that condition.
لَا تَقْطَعْ يَدَهُ «فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُومُ فِينَا فَيَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْمُثْلَةِ»
✧ Do not cut off his hand, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand among us commanding charity and forbidding mutilation.
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا سَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ سَمَّرُوا أَعْيَنَ الرِّعَاءِ»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ blinded their eyes only because they had blinded the eyes of the shepherds.
قَدِمَ ثَمَانِيَةُ نَفَرٍ مِنْ عُكْلٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاجْتَوَوَا الْمَدِينَةَ «فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِبِلَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا» فَفَعَلُوا فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَاسْتَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ «فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ قَافَةً فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَحْسِمْهُمْ»
✧ Eight men from 'Ukl came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They found the climate of Madinah unhealthy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to go to the camels of zakah and drink their milk and urine. They did so, then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent trackers in pursuit of them. They were brought back, and he cut off their hands and feet, blinded their eyes with heated iron, and left them without cauterizing.
«مَنْ تَرَكَ دِينَهُ أَوْ قَالَ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا
✧ «Whoever abandons his religion — or he said: turns back from his religion — kill him, and do not punish anyone with the punishment of Allah.»
«كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ ارْتَدَّ فَلَحِقَ بِالشِّرْكِ ثُمَّ نَدِمَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ أَنْ سَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ؟ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {كَيْفَ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ قَوْمًا كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِمْ وَشَهِدُوا أَنَّ الرَّسُولَ حَقٌّ وَجَاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِنْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَصْلِحُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْمُهُ فَأَسْلَمَ»
✧ «There was a man from the Ansar who accepted Islam, then apostatized and joined the polytheists. Then he regretted it and sent to his people, saying: Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whether there is any repentance for me. He said: Then it was revealed: {How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and bore witness that the Messenger is true, and clear proofs came to them} up to His saying {except those who repent after that and make amends, for indeed Allah is Forgiving, Merciful}. So his people sent to him, and he accepted Islam.»
«مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ»
✧ «Whoever changes his religion, kill him.»
