Chapter: What is reported regarding a man committing adultery after marrying a woman but before consummation
Sunan Sa'id bin Mansur 2033 — What is reported regarding a man
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ حَنَشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ أَقَرَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بِالزِّنَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَحْصَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: إِذًا تُرْجَمَ. فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى الْحَبْسِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِالْعَشِيِّ دَعَا بِهِ، وَقَصَّ أَمْرَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ:: إِنَّهُ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا. فَفَرِحَ عَلِيٌّ بِذَلِكَ، فَضَرَبَهُ الْحَدَّ، وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا نِصْفَ الصَّدَاقِ، فِيمَا يَرَى سِمَاكٌ
A man came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and confessed to committing adultery. He asked him, "Are you a muhsan (i.e., married)?" He replied, "Yes." He said, "Then you will be stoned." But in the evening it was found out that he had only performed the marriage contract but had not consummated it, so he (Ali) became happy, administered the hadd punishment to him, separated him from his wife, and gave the wife half of the dowry.
Brief Explanation
Hannash ibn al-Mu'tamir is trustworthy (saduq), but due to errors (awham) and mursal narrations, he is weak (Ibn Hajar). Al-Bukhari's criticism (yatakallamuna fi hadithihi) further weakens him. Simak ibn Harb is trustworthy (saduq), but due to confusion (idtirab), his reliability is not complete. The lack of corroboration renders it weak.
