وَعَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عِبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { كَانَ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِنَا رُوَيْجِلٌ ضَعِيفٌ, فَخَبَثَ بِأَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَائِهِمْ, فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ سَعْدٌ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَقَالَ: "اِضْرِبُوهُ حَدَّهُ". فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! إِنَّهُ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ, فَقَالَ: "خُذُوا عِثْكَالًا فِيهِ مِائَةُ شِمْرَاخٍ, ثُمَّ اِضْرِبُوهُ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً". فَفَعَلُوا } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ, وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ, وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ . لَكِنْ اخْتُلِفَ فِي وَصْلِهِ وَإِرْسَالِهِ .
Sa'id bin Sa'd bin 'Ubadah Narrated from:
A small weak man was staying in our tribe, and he committed adultery with one of their slave-women. Sa'd mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and thereupon he said, "Flog him (according to) the prescribed penalty." The people then said, 'O Messenger of Allah! He is too weak to bear it.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said, "Get a stalk of the raceme of a palm tree with a hundred twigs and strike him just once." So, they did. Related by Ahmad, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah with a good chain of narrators.
