Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ وَشَبْلًا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ ابْنَ مَعْبَدٍ وَالَّذِي حَفِظْتُ شِبْلًا قَالُوا كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَامَ خَصْمُهُ وَكَانَ أَفْقَهَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأْذَنْ لِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا وَإِنَّهُ زَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَخَادِمٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدَ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبَ عَامٍ وَعَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا الرَّجْمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْمِائَةُ شَاةٍ وَالْخَادِمُ رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ وَاغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنْ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَرَجَمَهَا.
English Translation
Sufyan told us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah informed me, that he heard Abu Hurayrah, Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani, and Shibl — Sufyan said: some people said "Ibn Ma'bad," but what I remember is "Shibl" — say: We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when a man stood up and said: "I adjure you by Allah, judge between us only by the Book of Allah." Then his opponent stood up — and he was more learned than him — and said: "He is right; judge between us by the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and permit me to speak." He said: "Speak." He said: "My son was a hired laborer for this man, and he committed adultery with his wife, so I ransomed him with a hundred sheep and a servant. Then I asked men of knowledge, and they informed me that upon my son is a hundred lashes and banishment for a year, and upon this man's wife is stoning." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "By Him in whose hand is my soul, I will surely judge between you both by the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: the hundred sheep and the servant are returned to you, and upon your son is a hundred lashes and banishment for a year. And go, O Unays" — a man from Aslam — "to this man's wife, and if she confesses, then stone her." So he went to her in the morning, and she confessed, and he stoned her.
