Volume 8, Book 82, Number 814:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man from among the people, came to Allah’s Apostle while Allah’s Apostle was sitting in the
mosque, and addressed him, saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have committed an illegal sexual inter –
course.” The Prophet turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet
had turned his face, and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have committed an illegal intercourse.” The
Prophet turned his face to the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he confessed four
times, the Prophet called him and said, “Are you mad?” He said, “No, O Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet
said, “Are you married?” He said, “Yes, O Allah’s Apostle.” The Prophet said (to the people), “Take him
away and stone him to death.” Ibn Shihab added, “I was told by one who heard Jabir, that Jabir said, ‘I
was among those who stoned the man, and we stoned him at the Musalla (‘Id praying Place), and
when the stones troubled him, he jumped quickly and ran away, but we overtook him at Al-Harra
and stoned him to death (there).’ ”
