Malik related to me that Ibn Shihab informed him that a man
confessed that he had committed adultery in the time of the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he testified
against himself four times, so the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, gave the order and he was stoned.
Ibn Shihab said, "Because of this a man is to be taken for his own confession against himself."
Ibn Shihab said, "Because of this a man is to be taken for his own confession against himself."
