It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man living in our houses who was deformed and extremely weak. Once, he astonished the people when he was caught committing "wickedness" with a maidservant of the house. He was a Muslim. Hazrat Saad bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) presented this matter in the court of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on him." The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! He is so weak that if we flog him a hundred lashes, he will die." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then take a bundle of a hundred twigs and strike him once with it, and then let him go."
