While we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a bedouin got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Settle my case
according to Allah's Book (Laws)." Then his opponent got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He has
said the truth! Settle his case according to Allah's Book (Laws.) and allow me to speak," He said, "My
son was a laborer for this man and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people
told me that my son should be stoned to death but I ransomed him with one-hundred sheep and a slave
girl. Then I asked the religious learned people and they told me that his wife should be stoned to death
and my son should receive one-hundred lashes and be sentenced to one year of exile.' The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, I will judge between you according to Allah's Book (Laws):
As for the slave girl and the sheep, they are to be returned; and as for your son, he shall receive onehundred
lashes and will be exiled for one year. You, O Unais!" addressing a man from Bani Aslam,
"Go tomorrow morning to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses, then stone her to death." The
next morning Unais went to the wife and she confessed, and he stoned her to death.
