[Machine] A man asked the Prophet ﷺ about having intercourse with women from behind or a man having intercourse with his wife from behind. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It is permissible." When the man left, he called him back or ordered someone to call him back, and he said, "How did you say it? In which of the two habitations? Or in which of the two cave-like structures? Or in which of the two orifices?" Meaning, from behind in the front orifice is fine, but from behind in the back orifice is not permissible. Indeed, Allah is not too shy to tell the truth. Do not have intercourse with women from behind." Al-Shafi'i said, "May Allah have mercy on my blind uncle, Thiqah, and 'Abdullah Ibn 'Ali, who is trustworthy. Muhammad informed me about it from Al-Ansari Al-Muaddith, who praised Khuzaymah, who is known to be a knowledgeable person. I don't dismiss it, rather I prohibit it." 14113 Al-Hafiz Abu Abdullah Abu Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Al-Saffar narrated to us that Hamad Ibn Muhammad Al-Shafi'i narrated to us that my blind uncle, Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad Ibn Al-Abbas, narrated to us that my grandfather, Muhammad Ibn 'Ali, said, "I was with Muhammad Ibn Ka'b Al-Quradhi when a man came to him and said, 'O Abu 'Amr, what do you say about having intercourse with a woman from behind?' He said, 'This is a Sheikh from the Quraysh, ask him.' He meant 'Abdullah Ibn 'Ali Ibn Al-Sahib. He said, 'I have never heard anything about it.' The man said, "O Allah, it is disgusting even if it is permissible." Then 'Abdullah Ibn 'Ali Ibn Al-Sahib met 'Amr Ibn Uhayhah Ibn Al-Julah and said to him, 'Have you heard anything about having intercourse with a woman from behind?' He said, 'I bear witness that I heard Khuzaymah Ibn Thabit Al-Ansari, whose testimony the Messenger of Allah valued as equivalent to the testimony of two men, say that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned the rest of the Hadith similarly.' As for the chain of narrators of Abdullah Ibn 'Ali Ibn Al-Sahib, there is another chain of narrators."

[Machine] Abu Huraira, Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani, and Shibl said, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when a man came to him and said, 'I adjure you by Allah, do not judge between us except according to the Book of Allah and allow me to speak first.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Say your statement.' The man said, 'My son was a shepherd for this man's wife and he committed adultery with her. I redeemed myself from him by giving him a hundred sheep and a servant. Then I asked some knowledgeable people who informed me that he should be punished with a hundred lashes and one year of exile, and that his wife should be stoned to death.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The hundred sheep and the servant are to be returned to you, and your son is to be punished with a hundred lashes and one year of exile. And you, O Unays, go and announce that if the wife of this man admits (to the adultery), then stone her.' So Unays went and announced this, and the wife admitted (to the adultery), so he stoned her.' Sufyan and Unays both said, 'Unays was a man who had embraced Islam.'
