(Book 41, Hadith 7) #36589
Seeking Witnesses in Adultery Cases

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised Sad ibn Ubada to wait for four witnesses if he ever found a man with his wife.

Malik related to me from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his father from Abu Hurayra that Sad ibn Ubada said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "What do you think I should do if I were to find a man with my wife? Should I leave him there until I had brought four witnesses?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Yes".
