It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "My son was working as a laborer for this man, and he committed adultery with his wife. People told me that my son should be stoned to death, so I gave a slave girl and one hundred sheep as ransom for him. Then the people of knowledge informed me that my son should be given one hundred lashes and exiled for one year, and that his wife should be stoned to death. Now, please judge between us according to the Book of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The slave girl and the sheep will be returned to you. Your son will be given one hundred lashes and exiled for one year." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to a man from the tribe of Aslam, 'Anis': "Anis, get up and go to this man's wife and ask her. If she confesses to the crime, then stone her to death."
