حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَشِبْلٍ قَالُوا
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ قَضَيْتَ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ خَصْمُهُ وَكَانَ أَفْقَهَ مِنْهُ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَائْذَنْ لِي حَتَّى أَقُولَ قَالَ قُلْ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا وَإِنَّهُ زَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَخَادِمٍ فَسَأَلْتُ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فَأُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدَ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبَ عَامٍ وَأَنَّ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا الرَّجْمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْمِائَةُ الشَّاةُ وَالْخَادِمُ رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ وَاغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا

“We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man came to him and said: 'I adjure you by Allah (SWT) to judge between us according to the Book of Allah (SWT).' His opponent, who was more knowledgeable than him, said: 'Judge between us according to the Book of Allah (SWT), but let me speak first.' He said: 'Speak.' He said: 'My son was a servant of this man, and he committed adultery with his wife, and I ransomed him for one hundred sheep and a servant. I asked some men of knowledge and I was told that my son should be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year, and that the wife of this man should be stoned.” 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 (SWT). The one hundred sheep and the servant are to be returned to you and your son is to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year. Go tomorrow, O Unais, to the wife of this man and if she admits I then stone her.'”

يرويه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه ابن عيينة عن الزهري عن عبيد الله عن أبي هريرة وزيد بن خالد وشبل وخالفه يحيى بن سعيد الأنصاري وصالح بن كيسان فرووه عن الزهري عن عبيد الله عن أبي هريرة وزيد بن خالد ولم يذكروا شبلا وكذلك رواه مالك بن أنس عن الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه أبو عاصم عن مالك عن الزهري عن عبيد الله عن زيد بن خالد وحده ورواه أصحاب الموطأ عن مالك فقالوا فيه عن أبي هريرة وزيد بن خالد وكذلك قال يونس بن يزيد وابن جريج وزمعة وابن أبي حفصة والليث بن سعد وابن أبي ذئب وابن إسحاق وكذلك قال عبد الأعلى عن معمر عن الزهري وخالفه يزيد بن زريع فرواه عن معمر عن الزهري عن عبيد الله عن أبي هريرة وحده وكذلك رواه عمرو بن شعيب وبكر بن وائل عن الزهري عن عبيد الله عن أبي هريرة وحده وهو محفوظ عن أبي هريرة وزيد بن خالد وأما ما قاله ابن عيينة فلم يتابع على قوله عن شبل ورواه الماجشون وصالح بن كيسان وابن أخي الزهري وجماعة عن الزهري عن عبيد الله عن زيد بن خالد وحده مختصرا ورواه ليث بن سعد عن عقيل عن الزهري عن ابن المسيب عن أبي هريرة ولم يتابع عليه ولعله حديث آخر حفظه عقيل عن الزهري والله أعلم
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.
