Sunan Abi Dawud 4422 (Book 40, Hadith 72) #24713
Punishment for Adultery

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the punishment of adultery and a warning to not commit it.

Jabir b. Samurah said: I saw Ma’iz b. Malik when he was brought to the Prophet . He was a small and muscular man. He did not wear the loose outer garment. He made confession about him four times that he committed fornication. The Messenger of Allah said: Perhaps you kissed her. He said that this most discarded man has committed fornication. He said: So he had him stoned to death and gave an address, saying: Beware, whenever we go out on an expedition in the path of Allah, one of them (I.e. the people) lags behind with a bleating sound like that of a he-goat, and gives modicum of his milk(ie sperm) to one of the women. If Allah gives control over any of them, I shall deter him from them (ie women) by punishing him severely.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the punishment of adultery and a warning to not commit it. The Prophet Muhammad saw Maiz b. Malik who confessed four times that he committed fornication and was punished by stoning him to death as an example for others. The Prophet also gave an address saying that if anyone commits such acts in the future they will be severely punished as well. This hadith teaches us that we should stay away from any kind of immoral activities and respect our own bodies as well as those of others around us. We should also remember that Allah is watching over us at all times and will punish those who disobey His commands accordingly.
