Sahih al-Bukhari 7167 (Book 93, Hadith 31) #6886
Punishment for Illegal Sexual Intercourse

SUMMARY: A man confessed to committing illegal sexual intercourse and was sentenced to death by stoning after four witnesses testified against him.

Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Messenger while he was in the mosque, and called him, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse". The Prophet turned his face to the other side, but when the man gave four witnesses against himself, the Prophet said to him, "Are you mad?" The man said, "No". So the Prophet said (to his companions), "Take him away and stone him to death".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهْوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَادَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ‏.‏ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعًا قَالَ ‏"‏ أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ

This hadith is about a man who committed illegal sexual intercourse and was brought before the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

When the man said no, the Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be taken away and stoned to death as punishment for his crime. This hadith teaches us that Allah has set laws in place that must be followed, even when it comes to matters of morality such as adultery or other forms of illegal sexual intercourse. It also shows us how seriously Allah takes these matters, as He has prescribed a severe punishment for those who break His laws in this regard. Furthermore, it serves as a reminder of how important it is to follow Islamic teachings in order to avoid such punishments from Allah's wrath.
