Punishment of Disbelievers at War with Allah and His Apostle: Hadith 818

Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْمُرُ فِيمَنْ زَنَى وَلَمْ يُحْصَنْ جَلْدَ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبَ عَامٍ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةَ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، غَرَّبَ، ثُمَّ لَمْ تَزَلْ تِلْكَ السُّنَّةَ‏.‏

English Translation

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Jihani: I heard the Prophet ordering that an unmarried person guilty of illegal sexual intercourse be flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year. Umar bin Al-Khattab also exiled such a person, and this tradition is still valid.
