Chapter 40 · Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud)حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ رَوْحِ بْنِ خُلَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْوَهْبِيَّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دَلْهَمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْمُحَبَّقِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِت، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ نَاسٌ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ: يَا أَبَا ثَابِتٍ قَدْ نَزَلَتِ الْحُدُودُ لَوْ أَنَّكَ وَجَدْتَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِكَ رَجُلًا كَيْفَ كُنْتَ صَانِعًا ؟ قَالَ: كُنْتُ ضَارِبَهُمَا بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى يَسْكُتَا أَفَأَنَا أَذْهَبُ فَأَجْمَعُ أَرْبَعَةَ شُهَدَاءٍ فَإِلَى ذَلِكَ قَدْ قَضَى الْحَاجَةَ فَانْطَلَقُوا فَاجْتَمَعُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ؟ قَالَ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كَفَى بِالسَّيْفِ شَاهِدًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَا لَا أَخَافُ أَنْ يَتَتَابَعَ فِيهَا السَّكْرَانُ وَالْغَيْرَانُ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: رَوَى وَكِيعٌ أَوَّلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ دَلْهَمٍ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْمُحَبَّقِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِنَّمَا هَذَا إِسْنَادُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ الْمُحَبَّقِ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دَلْهَمٍ لَيْسَ بِالْحَافِظِ كَانَ قَصَّابًا بِوَاسِطَ.

Some people said to Saad bin Ubadah: Abu Thabit, the prescribed punishments have been revealed: if you find a man with your wife, what will you do? He said: I shall strike them with a sword so much that they become silent (i. e. die). Should I go and gather four witnesses? Until that (time) the need would be fulfilled. So they went away and gathered with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said: Messenger of Allah! did you not see Abu Thabit. He said so-and-so. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The sword is a sufficient witness. He then said: No, no, a furious and a jealous man may follow this course. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Waki from al-Fadl bin Dilham from al-Hasan, from Qabisah bin Huraith, from Salamah bin al-Muhabbaq, from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. And this is the chain of the tradition narrated by Ibn al-Muhabbaq to the effect that a man had sexual intercourse with a slave girl of his wife. Abu Dawud said: Al-Fadl bin Dilham was not the memoriser of traditions. He was a butcher in Wasit.
