[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was approached by a man who said, "My wife has committed adultery." After investigating and confirming her adultery, the Prophet said, "Give her fifty lashes." The man returned and said, "She has repeated the act." Again, after verifying her adultery, the Prophet said, "Give her fifty lashes." The man returned once more and said, "She has repeated the act." Again, the Prophet verified the adultery and said, "Give her fifty lashes." The man returned yet again and said, "She has repeated the act." This time, the Prophet instructed, "Divorce her, even if it's with a hairstring."
