Malik related to me from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his father
from Abu Hurayra that Sad ibn Ubada said to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "What do you think I should
do if I were to find a man with my wife? Should I leave him there
until I had brought four witnesses?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Yes."

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah
ibn Utba ibn Masud that Abu Hurayra and Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani
informed him that two men brought a dispute to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. One of them said, "Messenger
of Allah! Judge between us by the Book of Allah!" The other said, and
he was the wiser of the two, "Yes, Messenger of Allah. Judge between
us by the Book of Allah and give me permission to speak." He said,
"Speak." He said, "My son was hired by this person and he committed
fornication with his wife. He told me that my son deserved stoning,
and I ransomed him for one hundred sheep and a slave-girl. Then I
asked the people of knowledge and they told me that my son deserved to
be flogged with one hundred lashes and exiled for a year, and they
informed me that the woman deserved to be stoned." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By him in whose
Hand myself is, I will judge between you by the Book of Allah. As for
your sheep and slave girl, they should be returned to you. Your son
should have one hundred lashes and be exiled for a year." He ordered
Unays al-Aslami to go to the wife of the other man and to stone her if
she confessed . She confessed and he stoned her.
