Hadith 1185

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، أَنَّ شَرَاحَةَ الْهَمْدَانِيَّةَ أَتَتْ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ ، فَقَالَ : لَعَلَّكِ غَيْرَى ، لَعَلَّكِ رَأَيْتِ فِي مَنَامِكِ ، لَعَلَّكِ اسْتُكْرِهْتِ ؟ وكُلٌّ ذلك تَقُولُ : لَا ، فَجَلَدَهَا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ ، وَرَجَمَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، وَقَالَ : " جَلَدْتُهَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ ، وَرَجَمْتُهَا بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Imam Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sharahah al-Hamdaniyyah came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I have committed adultery, so give me the punishment." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "It is possible that you saw yourself doing this in a dream, or perhaps you were forced into this act?" But she kept replying "No" to every question. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) flogged her on Thursday, and on Friday he carried out the punishment of stoning on her, and said, "I have flogged her in the light of the Book of Allah, and stoned her in the light of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
