Sahih Ibn Hibban 4399

Translation

✧ 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."

  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.
