What is mentioned and reported about fornication

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The adulterer, when he commits adultery, is not a believer."

Abu Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It has reached me that most of the sins of the people of Paradise are in relation to women.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to his slaves: Whoever of you wants to marry, we will get him married. When any of you commits adultery, Allah Almighty takes the light of faith away from his heart; then, if He wills, He returns it, and if He wills, He does not return it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Faith is a quality that keeps one away from sins. When a person commits adultery, faith departs from him; and whoever blames himself and turns back, his faith returns to him.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man commits adultery, at that moment he is not a believer."
