A man of the tribe of Aslam came to the Prophet ﷺ and testified four times against himself that he had had illicit intercourse with a woman, while all the time the Prophet ﷺ was turning away from him. Then when he confessed a fifth time, he turned round and asked: Did you have intercourse with her? He replied: Yes. He asked: Have you done it so that your sexual organ penetrated hers? He replied: Yes. He asked: Have you done it like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case and a rope in a well? He replied: Yes. He asked: Do you know what fornication is? He replied: Yes. I have done with her unlawfully what a man may lawfully do with his wife. He then asked: What do you want from what you have said? He said: I want you to purify me. So he gave orders regarding him and he was stoned to death. Then the Prophet ﷺ heard one of his companions saying to another: Look at this man whose fault was concealed by Allah but who would not leave the matter alone, so that he was stoned like a dog. He said nothing to them but walked on for a time till he came to the corpse of an ass with its legs in the air. He asked: Where are so and so? They said: Here we are, Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He said: Go down and eat some of this ass's corpse. They replied: Messenger of Allah! Who can eat any of this? He said: The dishonour you have just shown to your brother is more serious than eating some of it. By Him in Whose hand my soul is, he is now among the rivers of Paradise and plunging into them.

[Machine] Ma'iz ibn Malik came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Indeed, Al-Ab'ad has committed adultery." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Woe to you! How do you know what adultery is?" He then ordered that he be turned away and expelled. Then he came to him a second time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Al-Ab'ad has committed adultery." He said, "Woe to you! How do you know what adultery is?" He was turned away and expelled. Then he came to him a third time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Al-Ab'ad has committed adultery." He said, "Woe to you! How do you know what adultery is?" He said, "I approached a woman unlawfully, just as a man approaches his wife." So he ordered that he be dealt with, turned away, and expelled. Then he came to him a fourth time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Al-Ab'ad has committed adultery." He said, "Woe to you! How do you know what adultery is?" He said, "Did you enter her and withdraw?" He said, "Yes." So he ordered that he be stoned. When he was pelted with stones, he found that he could not bear it, so he went to a tree, leaned against it, and was stoned to death there. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ later passed by with a group of his companions, and one man said to his companion and his father, "Indeed, this is the loser who came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeatedly, and he rejected him each time, until he was killed like a dog." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent about them until he passed by the carcass of a donkey with its legs raised, and he said, "Leave it, leave it." They said, "It is the carcass of a donkey, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, it is in a river from the rivers of Paradise enjoying itself."

[Machine] A goat came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, I have committed adultery." The Prophet turned away from it until it came to him for the fifth time. He then asked, "Did you marry her?" The goat replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "It is as if the black eye liner disappears in the kohl or as if urine disappears in the well." The goat replied, "Yes." The Prophet asked, "Do you know what adultery is?" The goat replied, "I have come to you with a matter that is forbidden, just as a man goes to his wife lawfully." The Prophet asked, "What do you want?" The goat said, "I want to be purified." So the Prophet ordered that it be stoned, and it was stoned. Then the Prophet ﷺ heard two of his companions saying, "Look at this one whom Allah has concealed." But then he did not remain calm until it was stoned like a dog, and he mentioned a word that meant it. Then he saw a donkey's jaw that was filled with his leg, so he said to so-and-so and so-and-so, "Approach and eat from this donkey's jaw." They said, "May Allah forgive you, can we eat from the jaw?" He said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, that which both of you have obtained from your brother is greater than that. And by Him in whose hand is my soul, He is in the rivers of Paradise, bathing in them."
