[Machine] Amongst us, there was a weak and feeble man who had not fulfilled his duties towards the people of the house, except by a group of female servants. He took advantage of them and he was a Muslim. Saad (a companion of the Prophet Muhammad) brought this matter to the attention of the Prophet ﷺ, so he said, "Give him the punishment prescribed for his actions." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is weaker than that. If we strike him a hundred times, we will kill him." He said, "Then, take him a bundle of one hundred branches and strike him once with it, and let him go."  

كَانَ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِنَا إِنْسَانٌ مُخْدَجٌ ضَعِيفٌ لَمْ يُرَعْ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ إِلَّا وَهُوَ عَلَى أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَاءِ الدَّارِ يَخْبُثُ بِهَا وَكَانَ مُسْلِمًا فَرَفَعَ شَأْنَهُ سَعْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اضْرِبُوهُ حَدَّهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ ضَرَبْنَاهُ مِائَةً قَتَلْنَاهُ قَالَ فَخُذُوا لَهُ عِثْكَالًا فِيهِ مِائَةُ شِمْرَاخٍ فَاضْرِبُوهُ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً وَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُ  

[Machine] There was a weak and deceptive man among us who would only harass women from the household of the people of the home. Saad raised his status to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and said, "Give him a hundred lashes." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is weaker than that. If he is struck a hundred times, he will die." He (the Messenger of Allah) said, "So take a handful of palm fibers containing a hundred splinters and strike him with a single blow."  

كَانَ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِنَا رَجُلٌ مُحْدِجٌ ضَعِيفٌ فَلَمْ يُرَعْ إِلَّا وَهُوَ عَلَى أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَاءِ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ يَخْبُثُ بِهَا فَرَفَعَ شَأْنَهُ سَعْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اجْلِدُوهُ مِائَةَ سَوْطٍ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُوَ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَاكَ لَوْ ضُرِبَ مِائَةً مَاتَ قَالَ «فَخُذُوا لَهُ عِثْكَالًا فِيهِ مِائَةُ شِمْرَاخٍ فَاضْرِبُوهُ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً»  

[Machine] Between us, there was a weak and crippled man that we never saw except that he was with a group of servant women from the household, whom he would deceive. Sa'd bin 'Ubadah raised his matter to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he said, "Flog him with one hundred lashes." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is weaker than that. If we were to flog him with one hundred lashes, he would die." He said, "Then take him and flog him with one hundred branches."  

كَانَ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِنَا رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجٌ ضَعِيفٌ فَلَمْ نُرَعْ إِلَّا وَهُوَ عَلَى أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَاءِ الدَّارِ يَخْبُثُ بِهَا فَرَفَعَ شَأْنَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اجْلِدُوهُ مِائَةَ سَوْطٍ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ هُوَ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَاكَ لَوْ ضَرَبْنَاهُ مِائَةَ سَوْطٍ مَاتَ قَالَ فَخُذُوا لَهُ عِثْكَالًا فِيهِ مِائَةُ شِمْرَاخٍ فَاضْرِبُوهُ وَاحِدَةً
