Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibn al-Musayyab that a man from the Aslam tribe came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said to him, "I have committed adultery." Abu Bakr said to him, "Have you mentioned this to anyone else?" He said, "No." Abu Bakr said to him, "Then cover it up with the veil of Allah. Allah accepts tawba from his slaves." His self was still unsettled, so he went to Umar ibn al- Khattab. He told him the same as he had said to Abu Bakr, and Umar told him the same as Abu Bakr had said to him. His self was still not settled so he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him, "I have committed adultery," insistently. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him three times. Each time the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him until it became too much. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ questioned his family, "Does he have an illness which affects his mind, or is he mad?" They said, "Messenger of Allah, by Allah, he is well." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Unmarried or married?" They said, "Married, Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the order and he was stoned.  

فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَتُبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَاسْتَتِرْ بِسِتْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ فَلَمْ تُقْرِرْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى أَتَى عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ تُقْرِرْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الأَخِرَ زَنَا فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا أَكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ أَيَشْتَكِي أَمْ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَصَحِيحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبِكْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ فَقَالُوا بَلْ ثَيِّبٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرُجِمَ  

[Machine] His father, Abu Bakr, repented to Allah and sought refuge in the protection of Allah. Allah accepts repentance from his servants. So he went to Umar and said the same thing he said to Abu Bakr. Umar asked him what Abu Bakr said to him, so he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said that the other person had committed adultery. Sa'id said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him three times. All of that was rejected until he insisted on it. So he sent for his family and said, "Is he complaining? Is his father insane?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, he is telling the truth." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Is he your father or your stepfather?" He said, "But he is my stepfather." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that he be stoned to death. Al-Husayn ibn Mansur al-Naysaburi informed us, saying: Ibn Numayr told us, saying: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, that a man who had embraced Islam came to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and mentioned something like it.  

لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ تُبْ إِلَى اللهِ فَاسْتَتِرْ بِسِتْرِ اللهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ فَأَتَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ مَا قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْآخَرَ قَدْ زِنَا قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ بَعَثَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ «أَيَشْتَكِي؟ أَبِهِ جِنَّةٌ؟» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَصَحِيحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَبِكْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ» قَالَ «بَلْ ثَيِّبٌ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرُجِمَ» 7142 أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ أَتَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
