عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ وَجَدْتُ مَعَ امْرَأَتِي رَجُلًا أُمْهِلُهُ حَتَّى آتِيَ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ قَالَ نَعَمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! If I see a strange man with my wife, should I give him respite until I can present four witnesses? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Upon hearing about these four witnesses, Sayyiduna Sa'd radi Allahu anhu said: "O Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, if I were to see a strange man with my wife, I would not be able to tolerate it; bringing witnesses is a matter that comes later. Before that, I would strike with the sword and sever that man's neck." Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "O people! Listen, what is your leader saying? He is very possessive (ghayrah), and I am even more possessive than him, and Allah Ta'ala is more possessive than me." (Sahih Muslim)
