Hadith Commentary:
1.
Apparently, from this hadith it seems that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) addressed Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) and Zayd bin Khalid (radi Allahu anhu), whereas this is not the case. Rather, he addressed the father of a laborer and the one who had employed him. This laborer committed adultery with the wife of the owner, so his father reconciled with the owner by giving him one hundred sheep and a slave woman as compensation. When the case was brought before the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), he said:
“I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah: the sheep and the slave woman will be returned to you, and your son will receive one hundred lashes and will be exiled for one year.”
This is a lengthy hadith.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Sulh, Hadith: 2695, 2696)
2.
By “the Book of Allah” is meant not only the Noble Qur’an, but both the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The intent of the chapter heading is also this: that the Sunnahs of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) should be put into practice. In this hadith, the method of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has been described.
