حَدِيثُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ (١)، ٢١٩٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، (٢) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِنَا إِنْسَانٌ مُخْدَجٌ ضَعِيفٌ، لَمْ يُرَعْ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ إِلَّا وَهُوَ عَلَى أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَاءِ الدَّارِ يَخْبُثُ بِهَا، وَكَانَ مُسْلِمًا، فَرَفَعَ شَأْنَهُ سَعْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " اضْرِبُوهُ حَدَّهُ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، إِنْ ضَرَبْنَاهُ مِائَةً قَتَلْنَاهُ قَالَ: " فَخُذُوا لَهُ عِثْكَالًا فِيهِ مِائَةُ شِمْرَاخٍ، فَاضْرِبُوهُ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُ " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Saeed bin Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man living in our houses who was deformed and extremely weak. Once, he astonished the people when he was caught committing "wickedness" with a maidservant of the house. He was a Muslim. Saad bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) presented this matter in the court of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on him." The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! He is so weak that if we flog him a hundred lashes, he will die." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Then take a bundle of a hundred twigs and strike him once with it, and then let him go."
