" He made a confession of having committed adultery, thrice."  

مسلم:١٦٩٤cوَحَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ كِلاَهُمَا

عَنْ دَاوُدَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ بَعْضَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ فَاعْتَرَفَ بِالزِّنَى ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ
