أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا
إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُنْشِدُكَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَ لِي بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ الْخَصْمُ الْآخَرُ وَهُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ نَعَمْ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَأَذَنْ لِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قُلْ» قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ وَإِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي الرَّجْمُ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِئَةِ شَاةٍ وَوَلِيدَةٍ فَسَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ وَأَنَّ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ الرَّجْمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْوَلِيدَةُ وَالْغَنَمُ مَرْدُودٌ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ اغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ إِلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا» قَالَ فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرُجِمَتْ

✧ A man from the Bedouins came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I adjure you by Allah to judge for me according to the Book of Allah." The other disputant, who was more knowledgeable than him, said: "Yes, judge between us according to the Book of Allah and allow me to speak." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Speak." 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." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The slave girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, and upon your son is one hundred lashes and banishment for a year. Go, O Unays, to the wife of this man, and if she confesses, stone her." He went to her the next morning and she confessed, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered her to be stoned.

machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Abū Hurayrah, Zayd b. Khālid and Shibl. Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd al-Anṣārī and Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān differed from him, and narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Abū Hurayrah and Zayd b. Khālid, without mentioning Shibl. Likewise Mālik b. Anas narrated it from al-Zuhrī, and there is disagreement about him as well. Abū ʿĀṣim narrated it from Mālik, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Zayd b. Khālid alone. But the transmitters of the Muwaṭṭaʾ narrated it from Mālik and said in it: from Abū Hurayrah and Zayd b. Khālid. Likewise said Yūnus b. Yazīd, Ibn Jurayj, Zamʿah, Ibn Abī Ḥafṣah, al-Layth b. Saʿd, Ibn Abī Dhiʾb and Ibn Isḥāq. Likewise ʿAbd al-Aʿlā said, from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī. Yazīd b. Zurayʿ differed from him and narrated it from Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Abū Hurayrah alone. Likewise ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb and Bakr b. Wāʾil narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Abū Hurayrah alone. It is preserved (maḥfūẓ) from Abū Hurayrah and Zayd b. Khālid. As for what Ibn ʿUyaynah said, he was not followed in his mention of Shibl. Al-Mājishūn, Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān, the nephew of al-Zuhrī and a group narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Zayd b. Khālid alone, in abbreviated form. Layth b. Saʿd narrated it from ʿUqayl, from al-Zuhrī, from Ibn al-Musayyab, from Abū Hurayrah, and he was not followed in it. Perhaps it is another hadith that ʿUqayl preserved from al-Zuhrī, and God knows best.
