17.22 What Has Been Relates About A Woman Who Is Forced To Commit Adultery

١٧۔٢٢ باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا اسْتُكْرِهَتْ عَلَى الزِّنَا

tirmidhi:1453ʿAlī b. Ḥujr > Muʿammar b. Sulaymān al-Raqqī > al-Ḥajjāj b. Arṭāh > ʿAbd al-Jabbār b. Wāʾil b. Ḥujr from his father

That his father said: "A woman was forced to commit illegal sexual relations during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not enforce the legal punishment upon her, but he enforced it upon the one who had done it to her." And the narrator did not mention him assigning a dowry to her.

الترمذي:١٤٥٣حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَمَّرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

اسْتُكْرِهَتِ امْرَأَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَرَأَ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَدَّ وَأَقَامَهُ عَلَى الَّذِي أَصَابَهَا وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ لَهَا مَهْرًا

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِمُتَّصِلٍ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَلاَ أَدْرَكَهُ يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِيهِ بِأَشْهُرٍ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنْ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمُسْتَكْرَهَةِ حَدٌّ

A woman assaulted on her way to prayer and the true culprit confesses

tirmidhi:1454Muḥammad b. Yaḥyá al-Naysābūrī > Muḥammad b. Yūsuf > Isrāʾīl > Simāk b. Ḥarb > ʿAlqamah b. Wāʾil al-Kindī from his father

That a woman went out during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intending to pray, and a man met her, overpowered her, and satisfied his desire with her. She screamed, and he went away. Then another man passed by her, and she said: “That man did such-and-such to me.” And a group of the Muhajirun passed by, and she said: “That man did such-and-such to me.” So they went off and seized the man whom she thought had assaulted her, and they brought him to her, and she said: “Yes, this is he.” Then they brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

When he ordered that he be stoned, the man who had assaulted her stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I am the one.” He said to her: “Go, for Allah has forgiven you.” He spoke kindly to the ˹falsely accused˺ man, and he said regarding the man who had assaulted her: “Stone him.” And he said: “He has repented with a repentance such that if the people of Madinah were to repent with it, it would be accepted from them.”

الترمذي:١٤٥٤حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً خَرَجَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ، فَتَلَقَّاهَا رَجُلٌ، فَتَجَلَّلَهَا، فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهَا، فَصَاحَتْ، فَانْطَلَقَ. وَمَرَّ عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلَ فَعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا. وَمَرَّتْ بِعِصَابَةٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلَ فَعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَانْطَلَقُوا، فَأَخَذُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي ظَنَّتْ أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، وَأَتَوْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، هُوَ هَذَا. فَأَتَوْا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ.

فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ بِهِ لِيُرْجَمَ، قَامَ صَاحِبُهَا الَّذِي وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَا صَاحِبُهَا. فَقَالَ لَهَا: «اذْهَبِي، فَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكِ». وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ قَوْلًا حَسَنًا، وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا: «ارْجُمُوهُ». وَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ تَابَ تَوْبَةً، لَوْ تَابَهَا أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَقُبِلَ مِنْهُمْ».

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ سَمِعَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ وَعَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ
