20. Punishments
٢٠۔ كتاب الحدود
“When my innocence was revealed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on the pulpit and mentioned that, and he recited Quran. When he came down, he ordered that the legal punishment (of slandering) be carried out on two men and a woman.”
لَمَّا نَزَلَ عُذْرِي قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ وَتَلاَ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ أَمَرَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ وَامْرَأَةٍ فَضُرِبُوا حَدَّهُمْ
“If one man says another: 'O effeminate one!' give him twenty lashes. And if one man says to another: 'O homosexual!' give him twenty twenty lashes.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ يَا مُخَنَّثُ فَاجْلِدُوهُ عِشْرِينَ وَإِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ يَا لُوطِيُّ فَاجْلِدُوهُ عِشْرِينَ
