Sunan an-Nasa'i 5411

Translation

"We were with the Prophet [SAW] when a man stood up and said: 'I adjure you, by Allah, pass judgment between us according to the Book of Allah.' His opponent, who was wiser than him, stood up and said: 'He is right, pass judgment between us according to the Book of Allah.' He said: 'Speak.' He said: 'My son was a laborer serving this man, and he committed Zina with his wife. I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a servant.' It is as if he was told that his son was to be stoned to death but he ransomed him from that. 'Then I asked some knowledgeable men and they told me that my son was to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to him: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will pass judgment between you according to the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. As for the one hundred sheep and the servant, take them back, and your son is to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year. O Unais, go tomorrow to the wife of this man and if she confesses, then stone her to death.' She did confess, so he stoned her to death."

  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. Report a problem
