Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that a person from amongst the Muslims came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) while he was in the mosque. He called him saying: Allah's Messenger. I have committed adultery. He (the Holy Prophet) turned away from him, He (again) came round facing him and said to him: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery. He (the Holy Prophet) turned away until he did that four times, and as he testified four times against his own self, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) called him and said: Are you mad? He said: No. He (again) said: Are you married? He said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Take him and stone him. Ibn Shihab (one of the narrators) said: One who had heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah saying this informed me thus: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at the place of prayer (either that of 'Id or a funeral). When the stones hurt him, he ran away. We caught him in the Harra and stoned him (to death). This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters.
