Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10617

Salih bin Rashid al-Qurashi narrates: A man who had committed adultery with his sister was brought to al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf. Al-Hajjaj said: "Imprison him, and ask the Companions who are present here about this." The people asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Mutarrif (may Allah be pleased with him) about it, and he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever transgresses the two sanctities, cut him through the middle with the sword." The narrator says: Those people wrote to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) also wrote back to them the same as what Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Mutarrif (may Allah be pleased with him) had stated.
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Rifdah bin Quda'ah, whom Hisham bin Ammar declared thiqah (trustworthy) while the majority declared him da'if (weak); the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
