29. Judgements
٢٩۔ كِتَابُ الْقَضَاءِ
[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurayrah, Zayd ibn Khalid, and Shibl: We were with the Prophet ﷺ when a man came to him and said: "I adjure you by Allah, except what you have decreed among us with the Book of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Say." He said: "Indeed, my son was a shepherd for this man, and he committed adultery with his wife. So I ransomed myself from him with a hundred sheep and a servant, and they both informed me about stoning his son. So I ransomed him, and then I asked the knowledgeable men, and they informed me that there should be a hundred lashes and banishment for a year on my son." The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you with the Book of Allah. The hundred sheep and the servant shall be returned to you, and your son shall be lashed a hundred times and banished for a year. Go, O Unais, and announce about this woman, for if she confesses, then stone her." So he went to her and she confessed, so he stoned her. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: We do not know anyone who narrated it from Sufyan on the authority of Shibil, except Malik, from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullah, from Abu Hurayrah and Zayd ibn Khalid. Bukayr ibn al-Ashajj narrated it from 'Amr ibn Shu'aib, from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Abdullah, from Abu Hurayrah. And the hadith of Malik and 'Amr ibn Shu'aib is more correct than the narration of Ibn 'Uyaynah and Shibl. Yunus ibn 'Abd al-A'la said: Ibn Wahb informed us, saying: I heard Malik ibn Anas say...
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَشِبْلٍ قَالُوا كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ إِلَّا مَا قَضَيْتَ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ قَالَ قُلْ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا فَزَنَا بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَخَادِمٍ كَانَا أَخْبَرَانِي عَلَى ابْنِهِ الرَّجْمَ فَافْتَدَى مِنْهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدَ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبَ عَامٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ الْمِائَةُ شَاةٍ وَالْخَادِمُ تُرَدُّ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى ابْنِكَ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ اغْدُ يَا أُنَيْسُ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ هَذَا فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا» فَغَدَا عَلَيْهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَرَجَمَهَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا تَابَعَ سُفْيَانَ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ وَشِبْلٍ رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَرَوَاهُ بُكَيْرُ بْنُ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَطْ وَحَدِيثُ مَالِكٍ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ مِنْ قَوْلِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ وَشِبْلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ
Two men brought a dispute before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them said: Pronounce judgement between us in accordance with Allah’s Book, Messenger of Allah! The other who had more understanding said: Yes, Messenger of Allah! Pronounce judgement between us in accordance with Allah’s Book, and allow me to speak. He (the Prophet) said: Speak, He then said: My son who was a hired servant with this(man) committed fornication with his wife, and when I was told that my son must be stoned to death, I ransomed him with a hundred sheep and a slave girl of mine; but when I asked the learned, they told me that my son should receive a hundred lashes and be banished for a year, and that stoning to death applied only to man’s wife. The apostle of Allah ﷺ replied: By him in whose hand my soul is, I shall certainly pronounce judgment between you in accordance with Allah’s Book. Your sheep and your slave girl must be returned to you, and your son shall receive a hundred lashes and be banished for a year. And he commanded Unias al-Aslami go to that man’s wife, and if she confessed, he should stone her to death. She confessed and he stoned her. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4445)
أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْتَصِمَانِ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ وَكَانَ أَفْقَهَهُمَا أَجَلْ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَائْذَنْ لِي فِي أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ قَالَ تَكَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا وَإِنَّهُ زَنَا بِامْرَأَتِهِ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي الرَّجْمَ فَافْتَدَيْتُ مِنْهُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَجَارِيَةٍ ثُمَّ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّمَا عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ وَإِنَّمَا الرَّجْمُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ أَمَّا غَنَمُكَ وَجَارِيَتُكَ فَرُدَّ إِلَيْكَ وَجَلَدَ ابْنَهُ مِائَةً وَغَرَّبَهُ عَامًا وَأَمَرَ أُنَيْسًا أَنْ يَرْجُمَ امْرَأَةَ الْآخَرِ إِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَرَجَمَهَا»
