Sunan Ibn Majah 2549 (Book 20, Hadith 17) #31903
Judgement According to The Book of Allah (SWT)

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man who came to the Prophet (PBUH) asking for judgement according to the Book of Allah (SWT). The Prophet (PBUH) judged that the man's son should be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year, and that the wife of this man should be stoned if she admits her guilt.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah, Zaid bin Khalid and Shibl said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man came to him and said: 'I adjure you by Allah (SWT) to judge between us according to the Book of Allah (SWT)'. His opponent, who was more knowledgeable than him, said: 'Judge between us according to the Book of Allah (SWT), but let me speak first'. He said: 'Speak'. He said: 'My son was a servant of this man, and he committed adultery with his wife, and I ransomed him for one hundred sheep and a servant. I asked some men of knowledge and I was told that my son should be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year, and that the wife of this man should be stoned". The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will judge between you according to the Book of Allah (SWT). The one hundred sheep and the servant are to be returned to you and your son is to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year. Go tomorrow, O Unais, to the wife of this man and if she admits I then stone her'."

His son had committed adultery with his opponent's wife, so he ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a servant. After consulting some men of knowledge, it was decided that his son should receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then instructed Unais to go tomorrow to the woman's house and if she admitted her guilt then she would be stoned as punishment according to what is written in the Book of Allah ï·».

Finally, this hadith reminds us that we must always strive towards justice no matter how difficult it may seem at times; even if someone has wronged you personally you must still seek justice from what has been revealed by Allah ï·» rather than seeking revenge yourself.
