55. Prescribed Punishments
٥٥۔ كِتَابُ الْحُدُودِ
[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ commanded us to stone Ma'iz ibn Malik, we took him to Al-Baqi'. By Allah, we did not dig a pit for him or tie him up. Rather, he stood up for us and we threw stones at him with bones and pottery. He complained, and he came out limping until he stood in the middle of the open area. We continued to stone him with pebbles until the saying of Ahmad ibn Hanbal stopped.
لَمَّا أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ نَرْجُمَ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ خَرَجْنَا بِهِ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَوَاللهِ مَا حَفَرْنَا لَهُ وَلَا أَوْثَقْنَاهُ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَامَ لَنَا فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِالْعِظَامِ وَالْخَزَفِ فَاشْتَكَى فَخَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ حَتَّى انْتَصَبَ لَنَا فِي عُرْضِ الْحَرَّةِ فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِجَلَامِيدِ الْجَنْدَلِ حَتَّى سَكَتَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ
[Machine] He was a prophet of Allah ﷺ. He went back and when it was the next day, he came to him again and confessed to him about adultery. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O Prophet of Allah, purify me." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ told him to go back and then sent to his people and asked them about him. He said, "Do you know Ma'iz ibn Malik? Do you see any harm from him or do you see anything wrong with his mind?" They said, "O Prophet of Allah, we do not see any harm from him and we do not see anything wrong with his mind." So he came to him again on the third day and said, "O Prophet of Allah, purify me, for I have committed adultery." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ then sent to his people and asked them about him as he had asked them before. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not see anything wrong with his mind and we do not see any harm from him." So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ commanded that a pit be dug for him and he was buried in it up to his chest. Then the people were commanded to stone him.
لَهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ ارْجِعْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَتَاهُ أَيْضًا فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ طَهِّرْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ ارْجِعْ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ هَلْ تَرَوْنَ بِهِ بَأْسًا أَوْ تُنْكِرُونَ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا نَرَى بِهِ بَأْسًا وَلَا نُنْكِرُ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ شَيْئًا فَأَتَاهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ طَهِّرْنِي فَإِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهُ كَمَا سَأَلَهُمْ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا نُنْكِرُ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا نَرَى بِهِ بَأْسًا فَأَمَرَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَحُفِرَ لَهُ حُفْرَةٌ فَجُعِلَ فِيهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَرْجُمُوهُ
[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet of Allah ﷺ when a woman from the tribe of Ghamed came to him and said, "O Prophet of Allah, purify me, for I have committed adultery." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ told her to go back. The next day, she came to him and confessed her sin again, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, purify me, for perhaps you will turn me away as you turned away Ibn Malik Al-Aslami." She was pregnant at the time. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ told her to go back until she gives birth. When she gave birth, she came to him, carrying the baby wrapped in a cloth and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have given birth." He told her to go and breastfeed the baby until he is weaned. After she weaned the baby, she came to him holding a piece of bread in his hand and said, "O Messenger of Allah, he has been weaned, this is what he eats." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ ordered that the baby be given to a Muslim man, then he ordered a hole to be dug for her, and she was put in it up to her chest. Then he commanded the people to stone her. Khaled bin Al-Walid came forward with a stone and struck her on the head. She bled on Khalid's face, and he cursed her. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ heard him cursing her and said, "Hold on, O Khaled bin Al-Walid, do not curse her. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, she has repented with a repentance that if the sin of Ma'iz bin Malik had repented with, he would have been forgiven." Then he ordered for her to be prayed upon and buried.
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ غَامِدٍ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ طَهِّرْنِي فَإِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَقَالَ لَهَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ ارْجِعِي فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَيْضًا اعْتَرَفَتْ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ طَهِّرْنِي فَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرْدُدَنِي كَمَا رَدَدْتَ ابْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَسْلَمِيَّ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَحُبْلَى فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ارْجِعِي حَتَّى تَلِدِي فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْهُ جَاءَتْهُ بِالصَّبِيِّ تَحْمِلُهُ فِي خِرْقَةٍ قَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ هَذَا قَدْ وَلَدْتُ فَقَالَ لَهَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ اذْهَبِي فَأَرْضِعِيهِ حَتَّى تَفْطِمِيهِ فَلَمَّا فَطَمَتْهُ جَاءَتْ بِالصَّبِيِّ فِي يَدِهِ كِسْرَةُ خُبْزٍ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ هَذَا قَدْ فَطَمْتُهُ هَذَا هُوَ يَأْكُلُ فَأَمَرَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ بِدَفْعِهِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفِرَ لَهَا حُفْرَةٌ فَجُعِلَتْ فِيهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَرْجُمُوهَا فَأَقْبَلَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ يَعْنِي بِحَجَرٍ فَرَمَى رَأْسَهَا فَتَنَضَّخَ عَلَى وَجْنَةِ خَالِدٍ فَسَبَّهَا فَسَمِعَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ سَبَّهُ إِيَّاهَا فَقَالَ مَهْلًا يَا خَالِدُ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ لَا تَسُبَّهَا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ تَابَهَا صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ لَغُفِرَ لَهُ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَدُفِنَتْ
[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ stoned a woman and a grave was dug for her up to her chest. Abu Dawud said: I was informed by Abdus Samad ibn Abdil Warith, narrating from Zakariya bin Sulaiman through his chain of narration similar to it. He continues: Then he (the Prophet ﷺ) threw stones at her with stones similar to chickpeas. Then he said: Stone her and be cautious about hitting her face. When her punishment was completed, he took her out and prayed for her. And he said regarding repentance similar to the hadith of Buraydah."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجَمَ امْرَأَةً فَحُفِرَ لَهَا إِلَى الثَّنْدُوَةِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ حُدِّثْتُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ ثنا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ زَادَ ثُمَّ رَمَاهَا بِحَصَاةٍ مِثْلَ الْحِمِّصَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ارْمُوا وَاتَّقُوا الْوَجْهَ فَلَمَّا طُفِئَتْ أَخْرَجَهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَقَالَ فِي التَّوْبَةِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ بُرَيْدَةَ
