It is narrated from Amir Sha'bi, he says: The husband of Sharaha was absent from her and he was in Syria, but Sharaha became pregnant. Her guardian brought her to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: She has committed adultery, and she herself also confessed. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave her one hundred lashes on Thursday and stoned her to death on Friday. A pit was dug for her up to her navel, and I was also present there. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Verily, stoning is Sunnah; the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) implemented it. If anyone had testified against this woman, he would have thrown the first stone, first giving testimony and then, after the testimony, throwing the stone. But this woman has confessed, so I am the first to throw a stone at her. Then he threw a stone at her, and afterwards the people threw stones. Amir says: By Allah! I am among those who killed her.

It is also narrated from Sha'bi, he says: Sharaha Hamdaniyah came to Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: I have committed adultery. He said: Perhaps you became jealous, or saw a dream, or were forced. In one narration it is: Perhaps your husband came to you. But in response to every question, she said: No, no. So Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, flogged her on Thursday and stoned her on Friday, and said: I have flogged her in the light of the Book of Allah and stoned her in the light of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.
