Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The married adulterers will be (first given one hundred) lashes, then stoned to death, and the unmarried adulterers will be given (one hundred) lashes and exiled (for one year)."

Sayyiduna Sa’id bin Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there was a weak and physically deficient man living among our houses. (Suddenly) he was seen committing adultery with a slave woman. Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his case to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Give him one hundred lashes.”The people said: O Messenger of Allah! He is very weak; if we give him one hundred lashes, he will die (what should we do in such a case)? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Take a large branch on which there are one hundred small twigs, and strike him with it once.”

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a slave-girl commits adultery, flog her; if she commits adultery again, flog her; if she commits adultery again, flog her; and if she commits adultery again, flog her and sell her, even if you have to sell her for a twisted rope."

Abu Abdur Rahman says that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon and said: O people! Carry out the prescribed punishments on your slaves, whether they are married or unmarried, because a slave woman of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) committed adultery and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to flog her, but she had just finished her postnatal bleeding. I feared that if I flogged her, she would die. When I mentioned this concern to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "You did well, leave her until she becomes healthy."

Abu Abdur Rahman says that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon and said: O people! If a male or female slave commits adultery, establish the prescribed punishment on them... Then he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a female slave, who gave birth to a child due to adultery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to flog her. I saw that she had just finished her postnatal bleeding. I feared that if I flogged her, I might kill her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You did well; leave her until she recovers."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to be stoned and said to Hazzal: "If you had covered him with your garment, it would have been better for you." This hadith is also narrated mursal by Muhammad bin Munkadir and Saeed bin Musayyib.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has forbidden for my Ummah wine made from grapes and the like, gambling, wine made from corn and the like, the drum, and the tambourine, and He has added the Witr prayer for me."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), while he was delivering a sermon in Madinah, say: "O people! Indeed, Allah has given an ambiguous indication regarding (the prohibition of) alcohol. It is possible that soon Allah will reveal a (definitive) ruling about it. (So you should do this:) Whoever has any alcohol, let him sell it or benefit from it." Not much time had passed when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah has made alcohol unlawful. After the revelation of this verse, if anyone has alcohol, he can neither drink it nor sell it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When people drink alcohol, flog them. If they drink (a second time), then flog them again. If they drink (a third time), then flog them. If they drink alcohol a fourth time, then kill them."
