وَعَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عِبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا
قَالَ: «كَانَ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِنَا رُوَيْجِلٌ ضَعِيفٌ، فَخَبَثَ بِأَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَائِهِمْ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ سَعْدٌ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «اِضْرِبُوهُ حَدَّهُ». فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! إِنَّهُ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «خُذُوا عِثْكَالًا فِيهِ مِائَةُ شِمْرَاخٍ، ثُمَّ اِضْرِبُوهُ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً». فَفَعَلُوا»
‘A small weak man was staying in our tribe, and he committed adultery with one of their slave-women. Sad mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and thereupon he said, ‘Flog him (according to) the prescribed penalty.’
The people then said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! He is too weak to bear it.’ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then said, ‘Get a stalk of the raceme of a palm tree with a hundred twigs and strike him just once.’ So, they did. Related by Ahmad, An-Nasai and Ibn Majah with a good chain of narrators.’
