Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31001 — Book of the Judgments

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid, Shibl and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them) said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I implore you by Allah to judge between us only according to the Book of Allah." His opponent, who had more understanding than he did, said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), judge between us according to the Book of Allah, and permit me to say something." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speak." He said: "My son was employed by this man and he committed adultery with his wife, so I gave a hundred goats and a servant as ransom for him. Then I asked the scholars about it, and they told me that my son is due a hundred lashes and exile for a year, and that this man's wife is to be stoned." the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, I will certainly judge between you according to the Book of Allah. The hundred goats and the servant will be returned to you, and your son will receive a hundred lashes and exile for a year. And O Unays, go to this woman, and if she confesses to adultery, stone her."
