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.

أَنَّ مَاعِزًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى قَالَهَا أَرْبَعًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ قَالَ زَنَيْتَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَتَدْرِي مَا الزِّنَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَتَيْتُ مِنْهَا حَرَامًا مَا يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ حَلَالًا قَالَ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا الْقَوْلِ؟ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَدْخَلْتَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا كَمَا يَغِيبُ الْمِيلُ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ وَالْعَصَا فِي الشَّيْءِ؟ أَوْ قَالَ الرِّشَاءُ فِي الْبِئْرِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ فَرُجِمَ فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلَيْنِ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى هَذَا الَّذِي سَتَرَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ تَدَعْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى رُجِمَ رَجْمَ الْكَلْبِ فَسَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِجِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ؟ قُومَا فَانْزِلَا فَكُلَا مِنْ جِيفَةِ هَذَا الْحِمَارِ فَقَالَا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ يُؤْكَلُ مِثْلُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَمَا نِلْتُمَا مِنْ أَخِيكُمَا آنِفًا شَرٌّ مِنْ هَذَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ الْآنَ لَفِي أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَقَمَّسُ فِيهَا  

"عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ الأَسْلَمِىُّ نَبِىَّ الله ﷺ فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ أَصَابَ امْرَأَةً حَرَامًا أَرْبَعَ مَرَاتٍ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ، فَأَقْبَلَ في الخَامِسَةِ فَقَالَ

أَنِكْتَهَا؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ حَتَّى غَابَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا كَمَا يَغِيبُ المِرْوَدُ في المِكْحَلَةِ، وَالرِّشَاءُ فِى البِئْر، قَالَ نَعَمْ، قَالَ: تَدْرِىِ مَا الزِّنَا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ أَتَيْتُ مِنْهَا حَرَامًا مَا يَأتِى الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ حَلَالًا قَالَ: فَمَا تُرِيدُ بِهَذَا القَوْلِ؟ قَالَ: أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرنِى، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ، فَسَمِع النَّبِىُّ ﷺ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ: انْظُرْ إلى هَذَا الَّذِى سَتَرَ الله -تعالى- عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ تَدَعْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتِّى رُجِمَ رَجْمَ الكَلْبِ، فَسَكَت النبىُّ ﷺ عَنْهُمَا حَتَّى مَرَّ بِجِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ شَائِل بِرِجْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَيْن فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ؟ قَالَا: نَحْن ذانِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! قَالَ: انْزِلَا فَكُلَا مِنْ جِيفَةِ هَذَا الحِمَارِ، فَقَالا: يَا نَبِىَ الله: غَفَر الله! -تعالى- لَكَ مَنْ يَأكُلُ مِنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: فَمَا نِلْتُمَا مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيكُمَا آنِفًا أَشَدُّ مِنْ أَكْلِ المَيْتَةِ، وَالَّذى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ إنَّهُ الآنَ لَفِى أَنْهَارِ الجَنَّةِ يُغْمَسُ فِيهَا".
