Punishment of Disbelievers at War with Allah and His Apostle
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 794:
Narrated Anas:
Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet
ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after
they had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the
camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the
Prophets ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that
their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized, till they die.

Narrated Anas:
A group of people from 'Ukl (tribe) came to the Prophet and they were living with the people of As-Suffa, but they became ill as the
climate of Medina did not suit them, so they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Provide us with milk." The Prophet said, I see no other way for
you than to use the camels of Allah's Apostle." So they went and drank the milk and urine of the camels, (as medicine) and became
healthy and fat. Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels away. When a help-seeker came to Allah's Apostle, he sent some
men in their pursuit, and they were captured and brought before mid day. The Prophet ordered for some iron pieces to be made red
hot, and their eyes were branded with them and their hands and feet were cut off and were not cauterized. Then they were put at a
place called Al-Harra, and when they asked for water to drink they were not given till they died. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those people
committed theft and murder and fought against Allah and His Apostle.")
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 797:
Narrated Anas bin Mal ik:
A group of people from 'Ukl (or 'Uraina) tribe ----but I think he said that they were from 'Ukl came to Medina and (they became ill,
so) the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) she-camels and told them to go out and drink the camels' urine and milk (as
a medicine). So they went and drank it, and when they became healthy, they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. This
news reached the Prophet early in the morning, so he sent (some) men in their pursuit and they were captured and brought to the
Prophet before midday. He ordered to cut off their hands and legs and their eyes to be branded with heated iron pieces and they were
thrown at Al-Harra, and when they asked for water to drink, they were not given water. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those were the people
who committed theft and murder and reverted to disbelief after being believers (Muslims), and fought against Allah and His
Apostle").
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 798:

The Prophet said, "Seven (people) will be shaded by Allah by His Shade on the Day of Resurrection when there will be no shade
except His Shade. (They will be), a just ruler, a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, a man who remembers
Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears, a man whose heart is attached to mosques (offers his compulsory
congregational prayers in the mosque), two men who love each other for Allah's Sake, a man who is called by a charming lady of
noble birth to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her, and he says, 'I am afraid of Allah,' and (finally), a man who gives in charity
so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given."

jaws (i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him Paradise."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 800i:
Narrated Anas:
I will narrate to you a narration which nobody will narrate to you after me. I heard that form the Prophet. I heard the Prophet saying,
"The Hour sill not be established" or said: "From among the portents of the Hour is that the religious knowledge will betaken away
(by the death of religious Scholars) and general ignorance (of religion) will appear; and the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very
common, and (open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, and men will decrease in number while women will increase so much so
that, for fifty women there will only be one man to look after them."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 800e:
Narrated 'Ikrima from Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostles said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it;
and if he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of
drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder," 'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from
him?" He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them, and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like this,
by clasping his hands again.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 801:

The Prophet said, "The one who commits an illegal sexual intercourse is not a believer at the time of committing illegal sexual
intercourse and a thief is not a believer at the time of committ ing theft and a drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer at the time of
drinking. Yet, (the gate of) repentance is open thereafter."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which is the biggest sin?" He said, "To set up rivals to Allah by worshipping others though He alone has

"To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor."

witness against himself four times, the Prophet called him, saying, "Are you mad?" The man said, "No." The Prophet said, "Are you
married?" The man said, "Yes." Then the Prophet said, 'Take him away and stone him to death." Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: I was
among the ones who participated in stoning him and we stoned him at the Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but we
over took him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 807:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abd bin Zam'a quarrelled with each other (regarding a child). The Prophet said, "The boy is for you, O
'Abd bin Zam'a, for the boy is for (the owner) of the bed. O Sauda ! Screen yourself from the boy." The sub -narrator, Al-Laith added

"What is the legal punishment (for this sin) in your Book (Torah)?" They replied, "Our priests have innovated the punishment of
blackening the faces with charcoal and Tajbiya." 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "O Allah's Apostle, tell them to bring the Torah." The
Torah was brought, and then one of the Jews put his hand over the Divine Verse of the Rajam (stoning to death) and started reading
what preceded and what followed it. On that, Ibn Salam said to the Jew, "Lift up your hand." Behold! The Divine Verse of the Rajam
was under his hand. So Allah's Apostle ordered that the two (sinners) be stoned to death, and so they were stoned. Ibn 'Umar added:
So both of them were stoned at the Balat and I saw the Jew sheltering the Jewess.

in charity." He said, "I have nothing." The man sat down, and in the meantime there came a person driving a donkey carrying food to
the Prophet ..... (The sub-narrator, 'Abdur Rahman added: I do not know what kind of food it was). On that the Prophet said, "Where
is the burnt person?" The man said, "Here I am." The Prophet said to him, "Take this (food) and give it in charity (to someone)." The

offered prayer along with the Prophet , and when the Prophet had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allah's Laws." The Prophet said,

according to Allah's Laws." Then the man's opponent who was wiser than him, got up saying (to Allah's Apostle) "Judge us according
to Allah's Law and kindly allow me (to speak)." The Prophet said, "'Speak." He said, "My son was a laborer working for this man and
he committed an illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a ransom for my son's sin. Then
I asked a learned man about this case and he informed me that my son should receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year,
and the man's wife should be stoned to death." The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to
the Laws of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep and the slave are to be returned to you, and your son has to receive one-hundred lashes
and be exiled for one year. O Unais! Go to the wife of this man, and if she confesses, then stone her to death." Unais went to her and
she confessed. He then stoned her to death.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 816:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
'Umar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, "We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death)
in the Holy Book," and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the
penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by
witnesses or pregnancy or confession." Sufyan added, "I have memorized this narration in this way." 'Umar added, "Surely Allah's
Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 817:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I used to teach (the Qur'an to) some people of the Muhajirln (emigrants), among whom there was 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf. While I
was in his house at Mina, and he was with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab during 'Umar's last Hajj, Abdur-Rahman came to me and said,
"Would that you had seen the man who came today to the Chief of the Believers ('Umar), saying, 'O Chief of the Believers! What do
you think about so-and-so who says, 'If 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of allegiance to such-and-such person, as by Allah,
the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr was nothing but a prompt sudden action which got established afterwards.' 'Umar became angry
and then said, 'Allah willing, I will stand before the people tonight and warn them against those people who want to deprive the others
of their rights (the question of rulership)."
'Abdur-Rahman said, "I said, 'O Chief of the believers! Do not do that, for the season of Hajj gathers the riff-raff and the rubble, and it
will be they who will gather around you when you stand to address the people. And I am afraid that you will get up and say
something, and some people will spread your statement and may not say what you have actually said and may not understand its
meaning, and may interpret it incorrectly, so you should wait till you reach Medina, as it is the place of emigration and the place of
Prophet's Traditions, and there you can come in touch with the learned and noble people, and tell them your ideas with confidence;
and the learned people will understand your statement and put it in its proper place.' On that, 'Umar said, 'By Allah! Allah willing, I
will do this in the first speech I will deliver before the people in Medina."
Ibn Abbas added: We reached Medina by the end of the month of Dhul-Hijja, and when it was Friday, we went quickly (to the
mosque) as soon as the sun had declined, and I saw Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail sitting at the corner of the pulpit, and I too sat
close to him so that my knee was touching his knee, and after a short while 'Umar bin Al-Khattab came out, and when I saw him
coming towards us, I said to Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail "Today 'Umar will say such a thing as he has never said since he was
chosen as Caliph." Said denied my statement with astonishment and said, "What thing do you expect 'Umar to say the like of which he
has never said before?"
In the meantime, 'Umar sat on the pulpit and when the callmakers for the prayer had finished their call, 'Umar stood up, and having
glorified and praised Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then, I am going to tell you something which (Allah) has written for me to
say. I do not know; perhaps it portends my death, so whoever understands and remembers it, must narrate it to the others wherever his
mount takes him, but if somebody is afraid that he does not understand it, then it is unlawful for him to tell lies about me. Allah sent
Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam (the
stoning of married person (male & female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did recite this Verse and understood and
memorized it. Allah's Apostle did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him.
I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say, 'By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book,'
and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflict ed to
any married person (male & female), who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the required evidence is available or there is
conception or confession. And then we used to recite among the Verses in Allah's Book: 'O people! Do not claim to be the off spring
of other than your fathers, as it is disbelief (unthankfulness) on your part that you claim to be the offspring of other than your real
father.' Then Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not praise me excessively as Jesus, son of Marry was praised, but call me Allah's Slave and His
Apostles.' (O people!) I have been informed that a speaker amongst you says, 'By Allah, if 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of
allegiance to such-and-such person.' One should not deceive oneself by saying that the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was
given suddenly and it was successful. No doubt, it was like that, but Allah saved (the people) from its evil, and there is none among
you who has the qualities of Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of allegiance to anybody among you without
consulting the other Muslims, neither that person, nor the person to whom the pledge of allegiance was given, are to be supported, lest
they both should be killed.
And no doubt after the death of the Prophet we were informed that the Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sa'da.
'Ali and Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us, while the emigrants gathered with Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let's go to
these Ansari brothers of ours.' So we set out seeking them, and when we approached them, two pious men of theirs met us and
informed us of the final decision of the Ansar, and said, 'O group of Muhajirin (emigrants) ! Where are you going?' We replied, 'We
are going to these Ansari brothers of ours.' They said to us, 'You shouldn't go near them. Carry out whatever we have already decided.'
I said, 'By Allah, we will go to them.' And so we proceeded until we reached them at the shed of Bani Sa'da. Behold! There was a man
sitting amongst them and wrapped in something. I asked, 'Who is that man?' They said, 'He is Sa'd bin 'Ubada.' I asked, 'What is
wrong with him?' They said, 'He is sick.' After we sat for a while, the Ansar's speaker said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah,' and praising Allah as He deserved, he added, 'To proceed, we are Allah's Ansar (helpers) and the majority of the Muslim army,
while you, the emigrants, are a small group and some people among you came with the intention of preventing us from practicing this
matter (of caliphat e) and depriving us of it.'
When the speaker had finished, I intended to speak as I had prepared a speech which I liked and which I wanted to deliver in the
presence of Abu Bakr, and I used to avoid provoking him. So, when I wanted to speak, Abu Bakr said, 'Wait a while.' I disliked to
make him angry. So Abu Bakr himself gave a speech, and he was wiser and more patient than I. By Allah, he never missed a sentence
that I liked in my own prepared speech, but he said the like of it or better than it spontaneously. After a pause he said, 'O Ansar! You
deserve all (the qualities that you have attributed to yourselves, but this question (of Caliphate) is only for the Quraish as they are the
best of the Arabs as regards descent and home, and I am pleased to suggest that you choose either of these two men, so take the oath
of allegiance to either of them as you wish. And then Abu Bakr held my hand and Abu Ubada bin Abdullah's hand who was sitting
amongst us. I hated nothing of what he had said except that proposal, for by Allah, I would rather have my neck chopped off as
expiator for a sin than become the ruler of a nation, one of whose members is Abu Bakr, unless at the time of my death my own-self
suggests something I don't feel at present.'
And then one of the Ansar said, 'I am the pillar on which the camel with a skin disease (eczema) rubs itself to satisfy the itching (i.e., I
am a noble), and I am as a high class palm tree! O Quraish. There should be one ruler from us and one from you.'
Then there was a hue and cry among the gathering and their voices rose so that I was afraid there might be great disagreement, so I
said, 'O Abu Bakr! Hold your hand out.' He held his hand out and I pledged allegiance to him, and then all the emigrants gave the
Pledge of allegiance and so did the Ansar afterwards. And so we became victorious over Sa'd bin Ubada (whom Al -Ansar wanted to
make a ruler). One of the Ansar said, 'You have killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' I replied, 'Allah has killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' Umar added, "By
Allah, apart from the great tragedy that had happened to us (i.e. the death of the Prophet), there was no greater problem than the
allegiance pledged to Abu Bakr because we were afraid that if we left the people, they might give the Pledge of allegiance after us to
one of their men, in which case we would have given them our consent for something against our real wish, or would have opposed
them and caused great trouble. So if any person gives the Pledge of allegiance to somebody (to become a Caliph) without consulting
the other Muslims, then the one he has selected should not be granted allegiance, lest both of them should be killed."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 821:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
A bedouin came to the Prophet while he (the Prophet) was sitting, and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give your verdict according to
Allah's Laws (in our case)." Then his opponent got up and said, "He has told the truth, O Allah's Apostle! Decide his case according to
Allah's Laws. My son was a laborer working for this person, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and the people
told me that my son should be stoned to death, but I offered one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom for him. Then I asked the
religious learned people, and they told me that my son should be flogged with one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year." The
Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to Allah's Laws. The sheep and the slave girl will be
returned to you and your son will be flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year. And you, O Unais! Go to the wife of this
man (and if she confesses), stone her to death." So Unais went in the morning and stoned her to death (after she had confessed).
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 822:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Said bin Khalid:
The verdict of Allah's Apostle was sought about an unmarried slave girl guilty of illegal intercourse. He replied, "If she commits
illegal sexual intercourse, then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (after that for the secon d time),
then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (for the third time), then flog her (fifty stripes) and sell her
for even a hair rape." Ibn Shihab said, "I am not sure whether the Prophet ordered that she be sold after the third or fourth time of
committing illegal intercourse."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 823:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If a lady slave commits illegal sexual intercourse and she is proved guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, then she
should be flogged (fifty stripes) but she should not be admonished; and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse again, then she
should be flogged again but should not be admonished; and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse for the third time, then she
should be sold even for a hair rope."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 824:
Narrated Ash-Shaibani:
I asked 'Abdullah bin Abi 'Aufa about the Rajam (stoning somebody to death for committing illegal sexual intercourse). He replied,
"The Prophet carried out the penalty of Rajam," I asked, "Was that before or after the revelation of Surat-an-Nur?" He replied, "I do
not know."
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 825:
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:
The jews came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned to him that a man and a lady among them had committed illegal sexual intercourse.
Allah's Apostle said to them, "What do you find in the Torah regarding the Rajam?" They replied, "We only disgrace and flog them
with stripes." 'Abdullah bin Salam said to them, 'You have told a lie the penalty of Rajam is in the Torah.' They brought the Torah and
opened it. One of them put his hand over the verse of the Rajam and read what was before and after it. Abdullah bin Salam said to
him, "Lift up your hand." Where he lifted it there appeared the verse of the Rajam. So they said, "O Muhammad! He has said the
truth, the verse of the Rajam is in it (Torah)." Then Allah's Apostle ordered that the two persons (guilty of illegal sexual intercourse)
be stoned to death, and so they were stoned, and I saw the man bending over the woman so as to protect her from the stones.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 826:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah's Apostle. One of them said, "Judge us according to Allah's Laws." The other who
was more wise said, "Yes, Allah's Apostle, judge us according to Allah's Laws and allow me to speak (first)" The Prophet said to him,
'Speak " He said, "My son was a laborer for this man, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and the people told
me that my son should be stoned to death, but I have given one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom (expiation) for my son's
sin. Then I asked the religious learned people (about It), and they told me that my son should he flogged one-hundred stripes and
should be exiled for one year, and only the wife of this man should be stoned to death " Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand
my soul is, I will judge you according to Allah's Laws: O man, as for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to you." Then
the Prophet had the man's son flogged one hundred stripes and exiled for one year, and ordered Unais Al -Aslami to go to the wife of
the other man, and if she confessed, stone her to death. She confessed and was stoned to death.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 827:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Abu Bakr came to me while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his head on my thigh. Abu Bakr said (to me), "You have detained
Allah's Apostle and the people, and there is no water in this place." So he admonished me and struck my flanks with his hand, and
nothing could stop me from moving except the reclining of Allah's Apostle (on my thigh), and then Allah revealed the Divine Verse
of Tayammum.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 828:

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 829:
Narrated Al-Mughira:
Sa'd bin Ubada said, "If I found a man with my wife, I would kill him with the sharp side of my sword." When the Prophet heard that
he said, "Do you wonder at Sa'd's sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I have more sense of ghira than Sa'd, and Allah has more sense
of ghira than I."
