A man found with a woman under one garment

Al-Qasim's father reports that a man who had been found with a woman under one garment was brought to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave each of the two of them forty lashes. The narrator says: Then those people went to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to seek help against Sayyiduna Abdullah. Sayyiduna Umar met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud and said: "Some people are seeking help against you in this matter." So he informed him of what had happened. On hearing this, he said to Sayyiduna Abdullah: "Is that your opinion in this matter?" He said: "Yes." Those people began to say: "We came to seek help from him against him, and here he is asking him for a fatwa!"

Ja'far's father reports that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When a man is found with a woman, each of the two of them is to be given one hundred lashes."

Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla reports that a man had a hired servant, and the man found him with his wife in bed, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him forty lashes.

Zabyan bin Umarah reports that a man and a woman were brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). A man said: "We found the two of them in one bed, and with them were wine and the fragrance of basil." At this Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The two of them are vile and suspect." Then he flogged them both, and he did not mention a prescribed punishment.

Jarir bin Hazim reports that al-Hasan al-Basri said: "Their heads are to be shaved and they are to be flogged." Then he mentioned the number of lashes, which I could not retain.
