Sahih al-Bukhari 6825 (Book 86, Hadith 53) #6566
Punishment for Illegal Sexual Intercourse

SUMMARY: A man who committed illegal sexual intercourse was stoned to death after confessing four times.

Narrated Abu Huraira: A man from among the people, came to Allah's Messenger ﷺ while Allah's Messenger ﷺ was sitting in the mosque, and addressed him, saying, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! I have committed an illegal sexual intercourse". The Prophet ﷺ turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! I have committed an illegal intercourse". The Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he confessed four times, the Prophet ﷺ called him and said, "Are you mad?" He said, "No, O Allah's Messenger ﷺ!" The Prophet said, "Are you married?" He said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger ﷺ". The Prophet ﷺ said (to the people), "Take him away and stone him to death". Ibn Shihab added, "I was told by one who heard Jabir, that Jabir said, 'I was among those who stoned the man, and we stoned him at the Musalla ('Id praying Place), and when the stones troubled him, he jumped quickly and ran away, but we overtook him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death (there)'. "
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَأَبِي، سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَهْوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَادَاهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ‏.‏ يُرِيدُ نَفْسَهُ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَتَنَحَّى لِشِقِّ وَجْهِهِ الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ قِبَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ‏.‏ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَجَاءَ لِشِقِّ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ دَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَحْصَنْتَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبُوا فَارْجُمُوهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، قَالَ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُ، فَرَجَمْنَاهُ بِالْمُصَلَّى، فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ جَمَزَ حَتَّى أَدْرَكْنَاهُ بِالْحَرَّةِ فَرَجَمْنَاهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who committed an illegal sexual intercourse and confessed it four times in front of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ asked him if he was married, and when he said yes, the Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be taken away and stoned to death. This hadith teaches us that Allah has set laws for us to follow, and those who break these laws will be punished accordingly. It also shows us how important it is to take responsibility for our actions, as this man did by admitting his wrong-doing four times in front of the Prophet ﷺ. We should also remember that Allah is merciful and forgiving; He does not want us to suffer or be punished if we have done something wrong, but rather He wants us to learn from our mistakes so we can become better people.
