'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah Narrated from:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Uthbah: That He Heard From Abu Hurairah, Zaid Bin Khalid, And Shibl, That They Were With The Prophet (ﷺ) And Two Men Came To Him Disputing. So One Of Them Stood Before Him And Said: "I Ask You By Allah, O Messenger Of Allah! Only That You Would Judge Between Us By The Book Of Allah."So His Disputant Said - And He Was More Eloquent That Him: "I Agree Of O Messenger Of Allah! Judge Between Us By The Book Of Allah, And Allow Me To Speak. My Son Was A Servant For This Man And He Committed Adultery With His Wife. So They Told Me That My Son Was To Be Stoned. I Paid Him One Hundred Female Sheep And A Female Slave. Then I Met Some People From The People Of Knowledge And They Said That My Son Was To Be Lashed One Hundred Times, And To Be Banished For A Year And That Stoning Is Only For This Man'S Wife."So The Prophet (ﷺ) Said: "By The One In Whose Hand Is My Soul! I Will Judge Between You Two By The Book Of Allah. The One Hundred Female Sheep And The Female Slave Should Be Returned To You. For Your Son Is One Hundred Lashes And Banishment For A Year. O Unais! Go To This Man'S Wife, And If She Confesses Then Stone Her." He Went To Her And She Confessed, So He Stoned Her.(Another Chain) With Similar.(Another Chain) With Similar.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1433
This hadith about judgment by the Book of Allah describes two men who came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with a dispute. One asked him to judge between them by the Book of Allah. The other explained that his son had committed adultery with the man's wife. He had paid one hundred female sheep and a female slave after being told his son should be stoned. Later, people of knowledge told him his son should receive one hundred lashes and banishment for a year, while stoning applied to the man's wife. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم returned the sheep and slave, ruled on the son, and ordered Unais to act only if the woman confessed.
What we learn from this hadith

- Wrongly paid compensation was ordered to be returned.
- The son's case was ruled as one hundred lashes and banishment for a year.
