Hadith 3440

أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ، نا هُشَيْمٌ، أنا مَنْصُورٌ، وَأَبُو حُرَّةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلًا جَرِيئًا، وَكَانَ يَرَى عَلَيْهِ الرَّجْمَ
Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was a courageous man, and if someone committed adultery with a slave woman, he would order stoning."

Brief Explanation
In the chain of narration, "Abu Hurrah" is narrating from Hasan with an 'an' (عن) connection, and Hasan al-Basri's hearing (sama‘) from Sayyiduna Ali is not established; therefore, the narration is weak, even though the text is well-known and supported by other reports. The meaning of this athar is in accordance with the well-established juristic position, i.e., that Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu held the view of stoning (rajm) for a married adulterer (zani muhsan).

Ibn Hajar has also made it clear: "And it is not established that he heard from Ali" (Tahdhib al-Tahdhib 2/263).
