السيوطي:٢-٢٨٣٦b

"عَنِ ابنِ المُسَيِّب قَالَ: ذُكرَ الزِّنَا بالشَّامِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: زَنَيْتُ، قيل: ما تَقُولُ؟ قالَ: أَوَ حرَّمه اللَّه؟ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّه حَرَّمهُ، فَكُتِبَ إلى عُمَر بنِ الخطَّابِ، فَكتَبَ: إنْ كَانَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ اللَّه حرَّمَه فَحُدُّوه، وإن كان لم يعلَم فأَعْلِموه، فإن عاد فحُدُّوه".
