Narrated Anas:
Some people from
the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced
Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so
the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of
milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk
and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after
they had recovered from their ailment (became
healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from
Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and
took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some
people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught
and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that their
hands and legs should be cut off and that their
eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron,
and that their cut hands and legs should not be
cauterized, till they die.

Narrated Anas:
A group of people
from 'Ukl (tribe) came to the Prophet and they
were living with the people of As-Suffa, but they
became ill as the climate of Medina did not suit
them, so they said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Provide us with milk." The Prophet said, I
see no other way for you than to use the camels of
Allah's Apostle." So they went and drank the
milk and urine of the camels, (as medicine) and
became healthy and fat. Then they killed the
shepherd and took the camels away. When a
help-seeker came to Allah's Apostle, he sent some
men in their pursuit, and they were captured and
brought before mid day. The Prophet ordered for
some iron pieces to be made red hot, and their
eyes were branded with them and their hands and
feet were cut off and were not cauterized. Then
they were put at a place called Al-Harra, and when
they asked for water to drink they were not given
till they died. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those
people committed theft and murder and fought
against Allah and His Apostle.")

Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
A group of people
from 'Ukl (or 'Uraina) tribe ----but I think he
said that they were from 'Ukl came to Medina and
(they became ill, so) the Prophet ordered them to
go to the herd of (Milch) she-camels and told them
to go out and drink the camels' urine and milk (as
a medicine). So they went and drank it, and when
they became healthy, they killed the shepherd and
drove away the camels. This news reached the
Prophet early in the morning, so he sent (some)
men in their pursuit and they were captured and
brought to the Prophet before midday. He ordered
to cut off their hands and legs and their eyes to
be branded with heated iron pieces and they were
thrown at Al-Harra, and when they asked for water
to drink, they were not given water. (Abu Qilaba
said, "Those were the people who committed
theft and murder and reverted to disbelief after
being believers (Muslims), and fought against
Allah and His Apostle").

Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"Seven (people) will be shaded by Allah by
His Shade on the Day of Resurrection when there
will be no shade except His Shade. (They will be),
a just ruler, a young man who has been brought up
in the worship of Allah, a man who remembers Allah
in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with
tears, a man whose heart is attached to mosques
(offers his compulsory congregational prayers in
the mosque), two men who love each other for
Allah's Sake, a man who is called by a charming
lady of noble birth to commit illegal sexual
intercourse with her, and he says, 'I am afraid of
Allah,' and (finally), a man who gives in charity
so secretly that his left hand does not know what
his right hand has given."

I will narrate to
you a narration which nobody will narrate to you
after me. I heard that form the Prophet. I heard
the Prophet saying, "The Hour sill not be
established" or said: "From among the
portents of the Hour is that the religious
knowledge will betaken away (by the death of
religious Scholars) and general ignorance (of
religion) will appear; and the drinking of
alcoholic drinks will be very common, and (open)
illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, and men
will decrease in number while women will increase
so much so that, for fifty women there will only
be one man to look after them."
Volume

Narrated 'Ikrima
from Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostles
said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits
illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a believer
at the time of committing it; and if he steals, he
is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if
he drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a
believer at the time of drinking it; and he is not
a believer when he commits a murder," 'Ikrima
said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken
away from him?" He said, Like this," by
clasping his hands and then separating them, and
added, "But if he repents, faith returns to
him like this, by clasping his hands again.
Volume
8, Book 82, Number 801:
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"The one who commits an illegal sexual
intercourse is not a believer at the time of
committing illegal sexual intercourse and a thief
is not a believer at the time of committing theft
and a drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer
at the time of drinking. Yet, (the gate of)
repentance is open thereafter."

said, "To kill your child lest it should
share your food." I asked, "What is
next?" He said, "To commit illegal
sexual intercourse with the wife of your
neighbor."

A Jew and a Jewess
were brought to Allah's Apostle on a charge of
committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The
Prophet asked them. "What is the legal
punishment (for this sin) in your Book
(Torah)?" They replied, "Our priests
have innovated the punishment of blackening the
faces with charcoal and Tajbiya." 'Abdullah
bin Salam said, "O Allah's Apostle, tell them
to bring the Torah." The Torah was brought,
and then one of the Jews put his hand over the
Divine Verse of the Rajam (stoning to death) and
started reading what preceded and what followed
it. On that, Ibn Salam said to the Jew, "Lift
up your hand." Behold! The Divine Verse of
the Rajam was under his hand. So Allah's Apostle
ordered that the two (sinners) be stoned to death,
and so they were stoned. Ibn 'Umar added: So both
of them were stoned at the Balat and I saw the Jew
sheltering the Jewess.

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

should judge us according to Allah's Laws."
Then the man's opponent who was wiser than him,
got up saying (to Allah's Apostle) "Judge us
according to Allah's Law and kindly allow me (to
speak)." The Prophet said,
"'Speak." He said, "My son was a
laborer working for this man and he committed an
illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and I
gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a ransom for
my son's sin. Then I asked a learned man about
this case and he informed me that my son should
receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one
year, and the man's wife should be stoned to
death." The Prophet said, "By Him in
Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according
to the Laws of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep and
the slave are to be returned to you, and your son
has to receive one-hundred lashes and be exiled
for one year. O Unais! Go to the wife of this man,
and if she confesses, then stone her to
death." Unais went to her and she confessed.
He then stoned her to death.
Volume

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
'Umar said, "I
am afraid that after a long time has passed,
people may say, "We do not find the Verses of
the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy
Book," and consequently they may go astray by
leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo!
I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted
on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if
he is already married and the crime is proved by
witnesses or pregnancy or confession." Sufyan
added, "I have memorized this narration in
this way." 'Umar added, "Surely Allah's
Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so
did we after him."
Volume
8, Book 82, Number 817:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I used to teach
(the Qur'an to) some people of the Muhajirln
(emigrants), among whom there was 'Abdur Rahman
bin 'Auf. While I was in his house at Mina, and he
was with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab during 'Umar's last
Hajj, Abdur-Rahman came to me and said,
"Would that you had seen the man who came
today to the Chief of the Believers ('Umar),
saying, 'O Chief of the Believers! What do you
think about so-and-so who says, 'If 'Umar should
die, I will give the pledge of allegiance to
such-and-such person, as by Allah, the pledge of
allegiance to Abu Bakr was nothing but a prompt
sudden action which got established afterwards.' 'Umar
became angry and then said, 'Allah willing, I will
stand before the people tonight and warn them
against those people who want to deprive the
others of their rights (the question of rulership)."
'Abdur-Rahman said,
"I said, 'O Chief of the believers! Do not do
that, for the season of Hajj gathers the riff-raff
and the rubble, and it will be they who will
gather around you when you stand to address the
people. And I am afraid that you will get up and
say something, and some people will spread your
statement and may not say what you have actually
said and may not understand its meaning, and may
interpret it incorrectly, so you should wait till
you reach Medina, as it is the place of emigration
and the place of Prophet's Traditions, and there
you can come in touch with the learned and noble
people, and tell them your ideas with confidence;
and the learned people will understand your
statement and put it in its proper place.' On
that, 'Umar said, 'By Allah! Allah willing, I will
do this in the first speech I will deliver before
the people in Medina."
Ibn Abbas added: We
reached Medina by the end of the month of
Dhul-Hijja, and when it was Friday, we went
quickly (to the mosque) as soon as the sun had
declined, and I saw Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin
Nufail sitting at the corner of the pulpit, and I
too sat close to him so that my knee was touching
his knee, and after a short while 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
came out, and when I saw him coming towards us, I
said to Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail
"Today 'Umar will say such a thing as he has
never said since he was chosen as Caliph."
Said denied my statement with astonishment and
said, "What thing do you expect 'Umar to say
the like of which he has never said before?"
In the meantime, 'Umar
sat on the pulpit and when the callmakers for the
prayer had finished their call, 'Umar stood up,
and having glorified and praised Allah as He
deserved, he said, "Now then, I am going to
tell you something which (Allah) has written for
me to say. I do not know; perhaps it portends my
death, so whoever understands and remembers it,
must narrate it to the others wherever his mount
takes him, but if somebody is afraid that he does
not understand it, then it is unlawful for him to
tell lies about me. Allah sent Muhammad with the
Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among
what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam
(the stoning of married person (male & female)
who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did
recite this Verse and understood and memorized it.
Allah's Apostle did carry out the punishment of
stoning and so did we after him.
I am afraid that
after a long time has passed, somebody will say,
'By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam
in Allah's Book,' and thus they will go astray by
leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed.
And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted
to any married person (male & female), who
commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the
required evidence is available or there is
conception or confession. And then we used to
recite among the Verses in Allah's Book: 'O
people! Do not claim to be the offspring of other
than your fathers, as it is disbelief (unthankfulness)
on your part that you claim to be the offspring of
other than your real father.' Then Allah's Apostle
said, 'Do not praise me excessively as Jesus, son
of Marry was praised, but call me Allah's Slave
and His Apostles.' (O people!) I have been
informed that a speaker amongst you says, 'By
Allah, if 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge
of allegiance to such-and-such person.' One should
not deceive oneself by saying that the pledge of
allegiance given to Abu Bakr was given suddenly
and it was successful. No doubt, it was like that,
but Allah saved (the people) from its evil, and
there is none among you who has the qualities of
Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge
of allegiance to anybody among you without
consulting the other Muslims, neither that person,
nor the person to whom the pledge of allegiance
was given, are to be supported, lest they both
should be killed.
And no doubt after
the death of the Prophet we were informed that the
Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed
of Bani Sa'da. 'Ali and Zubair and whoever was
with them, opposed us, while the emigrants
gathered with Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let's
go to these Ansari brothers of ours.' So we set
out seeking them, and when we approached them, two
pious men of theirs met us and informed us of the
final decision of the Ansar, and said, 'O group of
Muhajirin (emigrants) ! Where are you going?' We
replied, 'We are going to these Ansari brothers of
ours.' They said to us, 'You shouldn't go near
them. Carry out whatever we have already decided.'
I said, 'By Allah, we will go to them.' And so we
proceeded until we reached them at the shed of
Bani Sa'da. Behold! There was a man sitting
amongst them and wrapped in something. I asked,
'Who is that man?' They said, 'He is Sa'd bin 'Ubada.'
I asked, 'What is wrong with him?' They said, 'He
is sick.' After we sat for a while, the Ansar's
speaker said, 'None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah,' and praising Allah as He deserved, he
added, 'To proceed, we are Allah's Ansar (helpers)
and the majority of the Muslim army, while you,
the emigrants, are a small group and some people
among you came with the intention of preventing us
from practicing this matter (of caliphate) and
depriving us of it.'
When the speaker
had finished, I intended to speak as I had
prepared a speech which I liked and which I wanted
to deliver in the presence of Abu Bakr, and I used
to avoid provoking him. So, when I wanted to
speak, Abu Bakr said, 'Wait a while.' I disliked
to make him angry. So Abu Bakr himself gave a
speech, and he was wiser and more patient than I.
By Allah, he never missed a sentence that I liked
in my own prepared speech, but he said the like of
it or better than it spontaneously. After a pause
he said, 'O Ansar! You deserve all (the qualities
that you have attributed to yourselves, but this
question (of Caliphate) is only for the Quraish as
they are the best of the Arabs as regards descent
and home, and I am pleased to suggest that you
choose either of these two men, so take the oath
of allegiance to either of them as you wish. And
then Abu Bakr held my hand and Abu Ubada bin
Abdullah's hand who was sitting amongst us. I
hated nothing of what he had said except that
proposal, for by Allah, I would rather have my
neck chopped off as expiator for a sin than become
the ruler of a nation, one of whose members is Abu
Bakr, unless at the time of my death my own-self
suggests something I don't feel at present.'
And then one of the
Ansar said, 'I am the pillar on which the camel
with a skin disease (eczema) rubs itself to
satisfy the itching (i.e., I am a noble), and I am
as a high class palm tree! O Quraish. There should
be one ruler from us and one from you.'
Then there was a
hue and cry among the gathering and their voices
rose so that I was afraid there might be great
disagreement, so I said, 'O Abu Bakr! Hold your
hand out.' He held his hand out and I pledged
allegiance to him, and then all the emigrants gave
the Pledge of allegiance and so did the Ansar
afterwards. And so we became victorious over Sa'd
bin Ubada (whom Al-Ansar wanted to make a ruler).
One of the Ansar said, 'You have killed Sa'd bin
Ubada.' I replied, 'Allah has killed Sa'd bin
Ubada.' Umar added, "By Allah, apart from the
great tragedy that had happened to us (i.e. the
death of the Prophet), there was no greater
problem than the allegiance pledged to Abu Bakr
because we were afraid that if we left the people,
they might give the Pledge of allegiance after us
to one of their men, in which case we would have
given them our consent for something against our
real wish, or would have opposed them and caused
great trouble. So if any person gives the Pledge
of allegiance to somebody (to become a Caliph)
without consulting the other Muslims, then the one
he has selected should not be granted allegiance,
lest both of them should be killed."

Narrated Abu
Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
A bedouin came to
the Prophet while he (the Prophet) was sitting,
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give your
verdict according to Allah's Laws (in our
case)." Then his opponent got up and said,
"He has told the truth, O Allah's Apostle!
Decide his case according to Allah's Laws. My son
was a laborer working for this person, and he
committed illegal sexual intercourse with his
wife, and the people told me that my son should be
stoned to death, but I offered one-hundred sheep
and a slave girl as a ransom for him. Then I asked
the religious learned people, and they told me
that my son should be flogged with one-hundred
stripes and be exiled for one year." The
Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, I will judge you according to Allah's Laws.
The sheep and the slave girl will be returned to
you and your son will be flogged one-hundred
stripes and be exiled for one year. And you, O
Unais! Go to the wife of this man (and if she
confesses), stone her to death." So Unais
went in the morning and stoned her to death (after
she had confessed).
Volume

she commits illegal sexual intercourse (after that
for the second time), then flog her (fifty
stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual
intercourse (for the third time), then flog her
(fifty stripes) and sell her for even a hair
rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I am not sure
whether the Prophet ordered that she be sold after
the third or fourth time of committing illegal
intercourse."

not be admonished; and if she commits illegal
sexual intercourse for the third time, then she
should be sold even for a hair rope."

"What do you find in the Torah regarding the
Rajam?" They replied, "We only disgrace
and flog them with stripes." 'Abdullah bin
Salam said to them, 'You have told a lie the
penalty of Rajam is in the Torah.' They brought
the Torah and opened it. One of them put his hand
over the verse of the Rajam and read what was
before and after it. Abdullah bin Salam said to
him, "Lift up your hand." Where he
lifted it there appeared the verse of the Rajam.
So they said, "O Muhammad! He has said the
truth, the verse of the Rajam is in it
(Torah)." Then Allah's Apostle ordered that
the two persons (guilty of illegal sexual
intercourse) be stoned to death, and so they were
stoned, and I saw the man bending over the woman
so as to protect her from the stones.

Narrated Abu
Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
Two men had a
dispute in the presence of Allah's Apostle. One of
them said, "Judge us according to Allah's
Laws." The other who was more wise said,
"Yes, Allah's Apostle, judge us according to
Allah's Laws and allow me to speak (first)"
The Prophet said to him, 'Speak " He said,
"My son was a laborer for this man, and he
committed illegal sexual intercourse with his
wife, and the people told me that my son should be
stoned to death, but I have given one-hundred
sheep and a slave girl as a ransom (expiation) for
my son's sin. Then I asked the religious learned
people (about It), and they told me that my son
should he flogged one-hundred stripes and should
be exiled for one year, and only the wife of this
man should be stoned to death " Allah's
Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, I will judge you according to Allah's Laws: O
man, as for your sheep and slave girl, they are to
be returned to you." Then the Prophet had the
man's son flogged one hundred stripes and exiled
for one year, and ordered Unais Al-Aslami to go to
the wife of the other man, and if she confessed,
stone her to death. She confessed and was stoned
to death.

color are they?" He replied, "They are
red." The Prophet further asked, "Are
any of them gray in color?" He replied,
"Yes." The Prophet asked him,
"Whence did that grayness come?" He
said, "I thing it descended from the camel's

probably inherited the color from his
ancestors."

my Lord makes me eat and drink." When the
people refused to give up Al-Wisal, the Prophet
fasted along with them for one day, and did not
break his fast but continued his fast for another
day, and when they saw the crescent, the Prophet
said, "If the crescent had not appeared, I

Sa'd:
I witnessed the
case of Lian (the case of a man who charged his
wife for committing illegal sexual intercourse
when I was fifteen years old. The Prophet ordered
that they be divorced, and the husband said,
"If I kept her, I would be a liar." I
remember that Az-Zubair also said, "(It was
said) that if that woman brought forth the child
with such-and-such description, her husband would
prove truthful, but if she brought it with
such-and-such description looking like a Wahra (a
red insect), he would prove untruthful." I
heard Az-Zubair also saying, "Finally she
gave birth to a child of description which her
husband disliked .

Lian. 'Abdullah bin Shaddad said (to him),
"Was this woman about whom Allah's Apostle
said, 'If I were ever to stone to death any woman
without witnesses. (I would have stoned that woman
to death)?' Ibn 'Abbas replied," No, that
lady exposed herself (by her suspicious
behavior)."

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Lian was mentioned
in the presence of the Prophet, Asim bin Adi said
a statement about it, and when he left, a man from
his tribe came to him complaining that he had seen
a man with his wife. Asim said, "I have been
put to trial only because of my statement."
So he took the man to the Prophet and the man told
him about the incident. The man (husband) was of
yellow complexion, thin, and of lank hair, while
the man whom he had accused of having been with
his wife, was reddish brown with fat thick legs
and fat body. The Prophet said, "O Allah!
Reveal the truth." Later on the lady
delivered a child resembling the man whom the
husband had accused of having been with her. So
the Prophet made them take the oath of Lian. A man
said to Ibn Abbas in the gathering, "Was that
the same lady about whom the Prophet said,
"If I were to stone any lady (for committing
illegal sexual intercourse) to death without
witnesses, I would have stoned that lade to
death?" Ibn Abbas said, "No, that was
another lady who used to behave in such a
suspicious way among the Muslims that one might
accuse her of committing illegal sexual
intercourse."
Volume

Huraira:

"Avoid the seven great destructive
sins." They (the people!) asked, "O

"To join partners in worship with Allah; to
practice sorcery; to kill the life which Allah has
forbidden except for a just cause (according to
Islamic law); to eat up usury (Riba), to eat up
the property of an orphan; to give one's back to
the enemy and freeing from the battle-field at the
time of fighting and to accuse chaste women who
never even think of anything touching chastity and
are good believers."

Huraira:

him."
Volume
8, Book 82, Number 842:
Narrated Abu
Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A man came to the
Prophet and said, "I beseech you to judge us
according to Allah's Laws." Then his opponent
who was wiser than he, got up and said, "He
has spoken the truth. So judge us according to
Allah's Laws and please allow me (to speak), O
Allah's Apostle." The Prophet said,
"Speak." He said, "My son was a
laborer for the family of this man and he
committed illegal sexual intercourse with his
wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as
a ransom (for my son), but I asked the religious
learned people (regarding this case), and they
informed me that my son should be flogged
one-hundred stripes, and be exiled for one year,
and the wife of this man should be stoned (to
death)."The Prophet said, "By Him in
Whose Hand my soul is, I will Judge you (in this
case) according to Allah's Laws. The one-hundred
(sheep) and the slave shall be returned to you and
your son shall be flogged one-hundred stripes and
be exiled for one year. And O Unais! Go in the
morning to the wife of this man and ask her, and
if she confesses, stone her to death." She
confessed and he stoned her to death.
