عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ بِزَانٍ مُحْصَنٍ فَجَلَدَهُ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ ثُمَّ رَجَمَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ جَمَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ حَدَّيْنِ فَقَالَ جَلَدْتُهُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَرَجَمْتُهُ بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Imam Shabi says that a married adulterer was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He flogged him with one hundred lashes on Thursday, and then on Friday he stoned him to death. Someone said to him: "You have combined two punishments upon him?" He replied: "I flogged him in the light of the Book of Allah, and I stoned him in the light of the Sunnah of the Messenger."
