If the Penalty ( Hadd ) were to be established upon him, he would die. What are you asws saying with regards to it?’ So I asked him asws , so he asws said: ‘Is this from yourself or a person told you to ask me asws about it?’ So I said, ‘Sufyan Al-Sowry asked me that I should ask you asws ’. So Abu Abdullah asws said: ‘They came with a man to Rasool-Allah saww who sufferred from illness of the belly and the veins of his thighs were visible, and he had committed adultery with a sick woman. So Rasool-Allah saww ordered a palm branch which had a hundred stalks to it, so the man was whipped with it by one lash, and the woman was whipped with it with one lash, then he saww freed both their ways. Then he saww recited this Verse [38:44] And take in your hand a green branch and beat with It and do not break your oath ’.
