Hadith record

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Aban, from Abu Al Abbas who said, ‘Abu Abdullah asws said: ‘A man came over to the Prophet saww so he said, ‘I have committed adultery, so purify me’. So the Prophet saww turned his saww face away from him. So he came over from his saww other side, then said similar to what he had said. So he saww turned his saww face away from him. Then he came for the third time, so he said to him saww , ‘O Rasool-Allah saww ! I have committed adultery, and the punishment of the world is easier to me than the Punishment of the Hereafter!’ So Rasool-Allah saww said (to his saww companions): ‘Is there a problem with your companion?’ – meaning insanity. So they said, ‘No’. So he confessed upon himself for the fourth time. So Rasool-Allah saww ordered that he be stoned, so they dug out a pit for him. So when he found the touch of the stone (being pelted), he came out fleeing hurriedly. So Al-Zubayr met him, and hit him with a leg of a camel. So he fell injured by it. So the people realised, so they killed him’. So they informed Rasool-Allah saww of that, so he saww said: ‘If only you had just left him alone’. Then he saww said: ‘Had he hid himself, then repented, that would have been better for him’.
