Narrated Sahl ibn Saad: A man came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and made acknowledgment before him that he had committed fornication with a woman whom he named. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sent someone to the woman and he asked her about it. She denied that she had committed fornication. So he gave him the prescribed punishment of lashes and left her.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man of Bakr ibn Layth came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and made confession four times that he had committed fornication with a woman, so he had a hundred lashes administered to him. The man had not been married. He then asked him to produce proof against the woman, and she said: I swear by Allah, Messenger of Allah, that he has lied. Then he was given the punishment of eighty lashes of falsehood.
