Sahih Muslim 1692b (Book 29, Hadith 28) #11536
The Punishment for Adultery and the Importance of Jihad

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a person who committed adultery and was stoned as punishment. It also talks about the importance of Jihad and how it should be taken seriously.

Jabir b. Samura reported that there was brought to Allah's Messenger ﷺ a short-statured person with thick uncombed hair, muscular body, having a mantle around him and he had committed adultery. He turned him away twice and then made pronouncement about him and he was stoned. Then Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: We set out for Jihad in the cause of Allah and one of you lagged behind and shrieked like the bleating of a male goat and one of then (goats' gave a small quantity of milk. In case Allah gives me power over one of them, I will punish him (in such a way that it may have a deterrent effect upon others). In another narration transmitted on the authority of Sa'id b Jubair (the words are), that He (the Holy Prophet) turned him away four times".
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ، بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِرَجُلٍ قَصِيرٍ أَشْعَثَ ذِي عَضَلاَتٍ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ وَقَدْ زَنَى فَرَدَّهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا غَازِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَخَلَّفَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَنِبُّ نَبِيبَ التَّيْسِ يَمْنَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْكُثْبَةَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُمْكِنِّي مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالاً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ نَكَّلْتُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ رَدَّهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a person who committed adultery and was punished with stoning. It also talks about the importance of jihad in Islam. According to this hadith, those who are going out for jihad must take it seriously and not lag behind or make excuses like bleating like a goat or giving only a small amount of milk. Allah's Messenger made an example out of this person to show that such behavior will not be tolerated in Islam and that those who commit such acts will be punished accordingly. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us that we must have taqwa (God-consciousness) when engaging in any activity so as to avoid committing sins or wrongdoings which can lead to punishment from Allah SWT.
