Yazid bin Nu'aym narrates from his father that Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery, so establish upon me (the punishment of) the Book of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him, until he came four times. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take him away and stone him." When the stones struck him, he became distressed and ran off quickly. Abdullah bin Unays came out from his desert dwelling and struck him with the leg bone of a donkey, and he fell down. Then the people pelted him with stones until they killed him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was told of his running away, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not let him go? Perhaps he would have repented, and Allah would have accepted his repentance." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman from the tribe of Ghamid came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have committed fornication. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back." She went away, then came back and said: Perhaps you want to put me off just as you put off Ma'iz bin Malik. By Allah, I am pregnant. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go until you give birth." Then she brought the child wrapped in a cloth and said: I have given birth to him; now purify me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go until you wean him." So she came (after the period), and there was a piece of bread in the child's hand, and she said: I have weaned him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that she be stoned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have committed adultery, so establish the prescribed punishment (hadd) upon me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and give birth to what is in your womb." When she had given birth to the child, she came again and said: I have committed adultery, so establish the prescribed punishment upon me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go until you wean your child." When she had weaned him, she came again and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery, so establish the prescribed punishment upon me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring someone who will take care of your child." So a man stood up and said: I will take care of her child. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had her stoned. This hadith is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Ya'qub bin Zayd bin Talhah al-Taymi narrates from his father that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that she was pregnant and had committed adultery. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Go until you give birth (to the child)." She went away, and when the child was born, she came again. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and suckle him." When she had suckled him, she came again. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go until you entrust him to someone (until a guardian is found)." When she had entrusted him to someone and came again, he (peace and blessings be upon him) established the prescribed punishment (hadd) upon her. This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), provided that Zayd bin Talhah al-Taymi met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because in the hadiths of the people of Madinah, the word of Imam Malik bin Anas is final.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I have never seen anyone with a surer aim than Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). A woman from the tribe of Hamdan called Shurahah was brought to him. He gave her a hundred lashes, then ordered that she be stoned. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) took a brick and threw it at her, and it struck her right at the root of her ear, and she fell. Then the people stoned her until she died. Then he said: "I flogged her according to the Book of Allah and stoned her according to the Sunnah." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is reported from Imam al-Sha'bi that he was asked: Did you see the Commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)? He said: I saw him; the hair of his head and beard was white. It was asked: Do you remember anything from him? He said: Yes, I remember that he flogged Shurahah on Thursday and stoned her on Friday, and he said: "I flogged her according to the command of the Book of Allah and stoned her according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." This chain is sahih (authentic), although in the first chain there is a disagreement about whether Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Mas'ud heard from his father.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a Jewish man and a Jewish woman who had committed adultery, both of them being married, were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) to judge concerning them, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the judgment of stoning concerning them, and they were stoned in front of the mosque in the area of Banu Ghanm. When the Jew felt the blows of the stones, he bent over his female companion so that he might shield her from the stones. And this was a proof (of truthfulness) from Allah for His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): that man bending over her to shield her. This hadith is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Perhaps someone unacquainted with the science of hadith might imagine that the narrator named Isma'il al-Shaybani is unknown (majhul), but that is not so, because Amr bin Dinar has narrated from him.

Isma'il al-Shaybani narrates: I sold the fruit of my date palms for a hundred wasqs, on the condition that if the quantity turned out greater, it would belong to them (the buyers), and if it turned out less, it would be their loss. I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about it, and he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that, except that he (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a concession in 'araya (exchange of dates under specific need).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said concerning a man who had intercourse with his wife's slave-girl: "If his wife had made that slave-girl lawful for him, I will give him a hundred lashes, and if she had not made her lawful, I will stone him." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among the Muslims changes his religion (becomes an apostate), kill him. And when a servant says, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger,' then we have no way against him except by its right (that is, if he commits a crime, the prescribed punishment will be established upon him)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
