"عَنِ ابنِ المُسَيِّب قَالَ: ذُكرَ الزِّنَا بالشَّامِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: زَنَيْتُ، قيل: ما تَقُولُ؟ قالَ: أَوَ حرَّمه اللَّه؟ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّه حَرَّمهُ، فَكُتِبَ إلى عُمَر بنِ الخطَّابِ، فَكتَبَ: إنْ كَانَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ اللَّه حرَّمَه فَحُدُّوه، وإن كان لم يعلَم فأَعْلِموه، فإن عاد فحُدُّوه".

"On the authority of Ibn al-Musayyib, who said: Fornication (zina) was mentioned in al-Sham, and a man said: 'I committed fornication.' It was said to him: 'What are you saying?' He said: 'Did Allah forbid it? I did not know that Allah had forbidden it.' So it was written to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and he wrote: 'If he knew that Allah had forbidden it, then apply the hadd to him. If he did not know, then inform him. If he returns, then apply the hadd to him.'"
