[Machine] Uthman said, "Where are the witnesses for the one who has been accused of adultery?" They said, "He has married a woman but has not had intercourse with her yet." Ali said to Uthman, "If he had intercourse with her, then stoning would be the punishment for him. But if he has not had intercourse with his wife, then he should be flogged with the prescribed penalty." Abu Ayoub said, "I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying what Abu Al-Hasan mentioned, so Uthman ordered him to be flogged a hundred times."  

عُثْمَانُ وَيْحَكُمْ أَيْنَ الشُّهُودُ أُحْصِنَ؟ قَالُوا قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ بِامْرَأَةٍ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا بَعْدُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِعُثْمَانَ ؓ لَوْ دَخَلَ بِهَا لَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجْمُ فَأَمَّا إِذْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِأَهْلِهِ فَاجْلِدْهُ الْحَدَّ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ أَشْهَدُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ ؓ فَجَلَدَ مِئَةً
