Punishment for Immoral Actions

SUMMARY: 'Ali punished a woman who had committed an immoral action by flogging her according to the Book of Allah and stoning her according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah.

It was narrated that ash-Sha'bi said: A freed slave woman of Sa’eed bin Qais, who was married and had committed an immoral action, was brought to 'Ali, he gave her one hundred lashes then he stoned her. Then he said: I flogged her in accordance with the Book of Allah and I stoned her in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah .
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، وَأَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُعَقِّبُ عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ بِمَوْلَاةٍ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ مُحْصَنَةٍ قَدْ فَجَرَتْ قَالَ فَضَرَبَهَا مِائَةً ثُمَّ رَجَمَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ جَلَدْتُهَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَرَجَمْتُهَا بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏

Follow Islamic teachings regarding punishments for wrongdoings

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how 'Ali, a companion of Prophet Muhammad, dealt with a woman who had committed an immoral action. He gave her one hundred lashes as punishment according to the Book of Allah and then stoned her in accordance with the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. This shows that Islam has strict punishments for those who commit immoral actions, which serves as a deterrent for others from doing similar acts. It also shows that justice must be served even if it is against someone close to you or someone you know well.

The punishment given by 'Ali was not done out of anger or vengeance but rather out of justice and fairness in accordance with Islamic teachings. It also serves as an example for us today on how we should deal with such cases when they arise in our society - we must be fair and just while punishing those who have done wrong without any bias or prejudice towards them.
