Hadith record

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Dawood Bin Farqad who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying that the companions of the Prophet saww said to Sa’ad Bin Ubada, ‘What is your view, if you were to find a man upon the belly of your wife, how would you deal with it?’ He said, ‘I would strike him with the sword’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Rasool-Allah saww came out, so he saww said: ‘What is (the matter), O Sa’ad?’ He said, ‘They are saying, if you were to find a man upon the belly of your woman, what would you have done with him?’ So I said, ‘I would strike him with the sword’. So he saww said: ‘O Sa’ad! And how (will you get) the four witnesses?’ So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah saww ! After having seen with my own eyes, and Allah azwj Knows that he has done it?’ He saww said: ‘Yes, by Allah azwj ! (Even) after having seen with your eyes and Allah azwj Knowing that he has done it, because Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic has Made a Penalty ( Hadd ) for everything, and Made upon the one who exceeds the Penalty ( Hadd ), a Penalty ( Hadd )’.
