حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الطَّائِفِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمِقْدَامِ، عَنْ ابْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْآخِرَ قَدْ زَنَى. فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ ثَلَّثَ، ثُمَّ رَبَّعَ، فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَرَدَّدَهُ أَرْبَعًا، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ، فَأَمَرَنَا فَحَفَرْنَا لَهُ حَفِيرَةً لَيْسَتْ بِالطَّوِيلَةِ، فَرُجِمَ فَارْتَحَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَئِيبًا حَزِينًا، فَسِرْنَا حَتَّى نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا، فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِي: "يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ، غُفِرَ لَهُ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) when a man came and said, "Those who lag behind in good deeds (I have) committed adultery." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face away from him. When this happened four times, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted from his ride and ordered us, so we dug a pit for him which was not very long, then he was stoned. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) departed from there in a state of grief and distress, and we set out. When we camped at the next stop, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was relieved of that state and said to me, "Abu Dharr! Look, your companion has been forgiven and admitted to Paradise."
