It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman from the Juhaina tribe confessed to adultery before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I am pregnant. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called her guardian and said: Treat her well, and when she gives birth to the child, inform me. He did so. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave orders regarding the woman, so her clothes were tied tightly around her, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to be stoned, and she was stoned. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered her funeral prayer. Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! You stoned her and now you are offering her funeral prayer? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She has repented with such a repentance that if it were distributed among seventy people of Madinah, it would suffice to forgive them all. Have you found anything superior to the fact that this woman sacrificed her life for the sake of Allah Almighty?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his mule, and the mule was standing. People brought a pregnant woman to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The woman said: I have committed adultery, so stone me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Conceal yourself with the covering of Allah, and cover yourself. So she went back, but then she returned again while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was still mounted on his mule. She said: O Messenger of Allah! Stone me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Conceal yourself with the covering of Allah, and cover yourself. So she went back, but then she came a third time, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing. This time, she held the reins of the Prophet’s mule and said: I beseech you by Allah, stone me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and come back after you have given birth to the child. So she gave birth to the child and came again, and spoke to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and come back after you are purified from blood. So she went away and later came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have become pure. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent women to her to examine whether she had become pure from blood. They came and testified before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that she had indeed become pure. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a pit to be dug up to her chest, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and other Muslims also gathered. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a pebble the size of a chickpea and threw it at the woman, then he moved aside and said to the Muslims: Stone her, but protect her face. When she died, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to be taken out of the pit, then he offered her funeral prayer and said: If her reward were distributed among the people of Hijaz, it would be sufficient for them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: One of his slave girls committed adultery and because of that she became pregnant.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that a slave woman of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) committed adultery, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to carry out the prescribed punishment on her. But when I went to her, I found her in such a state that her postnatal bleeding had not yet stopped. I returned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the situation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When her bleeding stops, then carry out the punishment on her. Carry out the prescribed punishments on your slaves as well.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Saeed bin Saad bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: In our neighborhood there lived a physically deformed man. The household was greatly astonished to see that he was committing adultery with a slave girl of the neighborhood, while he was a Muslim. Sayyiduna Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his case to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Administer the hadd (punishment) to him. The people said: O Messenger of Allah! He is not able to bear the hadd; if we flog him a hundred lashes, he will die. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then take a branch with a hundred twigs and strike him once with it, and then let him go.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ordered us to stone Ma'iz bin Malik. So we went out towards Baqi'. By Allah! We neither dug a pit for him nor tied him up; he stood by himself. We began to throw bones and pebbles at him. When he was hurt, he ran away quickly until he stood at one side of Harrah. Then we threw large stones at him until he died.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) had a woman stoned and a pit was dug for her up to her chest.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man named Abdur Rahman bin Haneen, who was called by the nickname Qarqoor. He committed adultery with his wife’s slave-girl. When his case was brought before Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:“I will judge between you as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) judged. If your wife had made this slave-girl lawful for you, then I will give you one hundred lashes, and if she had not made her lawful for you, then I will stone you to death.”Upon investigation, it was found that his wife had indeed made her slave-girl lawful for him, so he gave him one hundred lashes.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to him and said: My husband has committed adultery with my slave-girl. He said: I have a satisfactory hadith about this, which I have obtained from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): If you had given him permission, I will give him a hundred lashes, and if you had not given him permission, I will stone him. Upon hearing this, people went to the woman and said: Your husband is about to be stoned, so you should say that you had given him permission. So she said: I had given my husband permission. Then he brought him forward and gave him a hundred lashes.
