[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in the mosque, and he called him saying, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed the last one has committed adultery." The Prophet ﷺ turned away from him, so he moved to the side of his face that the Prophet ﷺ had turned away from and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed the last one has committed adultery." The Prophet ﷺ turned away from him again, so he moved to the side of his face that the Prophet ﷺ had turned away from and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed the last one has committed adultery." The Prophet ﷺ turned away from him for the fourth time, but when he testified against himself four times, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and asked, "Are you crazy?" He replied, "No." So the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Take him and stone him." And he had been married.

A man from Bani Aslam came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque and called (the Prophet ﷺ ) saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." On that the Prophet ﷺ turned his face from him to the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet ﷺ had turned his face, and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet ﷺ had turned his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet ﷺ turned his face (from him) to the other side again. The man moved again (and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So when the man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet ﷺ called him and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin ʿAbdullah Al-Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at the Musalla (ʿId praying place) in Medina. When the stones hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but we caught him at Al-Harra and stoned him till he died.

A man from among the people, came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque, and addressed him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed an illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed an illegal intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he confessed four times, the Prophet ﷺ called him and said, "Are you mad?" He said, "No, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Prophet said, "Are you married?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Prophet ﷺ said (to the people), "Take him away and stone him to death." Ibn Shihab added, "I was told by one who heard Jabir, that Jabir said, 'I was among those who stoned the man, and we stoned him at the Musalla (ʿId praying Place), and when the stones troubled him, he jumped quickly and ran away, but we overtook him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death (there).'

Messenger of Allah. I have committed adultery. He (the Holy Prophet) turned away from him, He (again) came round facing him and said to him: Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery. He (the Holy Prophet) turned away until he did that four times, and as he testified four times against his own self, Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said: Are you mad? He said: No. He (again) said: Are you married? He said: Yes. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Take him and stone him.
