Hadith #270

Arabic Text

English Translation

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man came to Allah's Messenger ﷺ while he was in the mosque, and he called him, saying, "O Allah's Apostle ﷺ! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse.'" the Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side, but that man repeated his statement four times, and after he bore witness against himself four times, the Prophet ﷺ called him, saying, "Are you mad?" The man said, "No." the Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you married?" The man said, "Yes." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Take him away and stone him to death." Jabir bin `Abdullah said: I was among the ones who participated in stoning him and we stoned him at the Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but we over took him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death
