بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِيمَنِ اعْتَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بِالزِّنَاChapter on what is reported regarding one who confesses to adultery
Hadith 1553
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَتْهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ " أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةٍ بِكْرٍ فَأَحْبَلَهَا، ثُمَّ اعْتَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بِالزِّنَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحْصَنَ، " فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَجُلِدَ الْحَدَّ، ثُمَّ نُفِيَ إِلَى فَدَكَ " .
It is narrated from Safiyyah bint Abi Ubaid that people brought a man to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) who had committed fornication with a virgin slave girl and made her pregnant. Afterwards, he confessed to the fornication, and he was not a muhsan (i.e., not married). Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered that he be flogged, so the prescribed punishment was carried out on him. After that, he was sent away towards Fadak (Fadak is a place two days' journey from Madinah).
