It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: This unfortunate person has committed adultery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. Then he confessed a second, third, and even a fourth time. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted from his ride. In another narration, it is mentioned: The man confessed once and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rejected him, until he confessed four times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted and ordered us, so we dug a small pit for him, which was not very deep, and he was stoned. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued the journey in a state of grief and sorrow, and we also traveled with him, until when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped at a place, that state left him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Abu Dharr! Did you not see your companion? He has been forgiven and admitted into Paradise.
