Muhammad bin Muthanna narrated to us that Abdul Wahhab told us. Ayyub narrated to us. Ayyub narrated from Abu Qilabah that Malik bin Huwairith told us. He said: We came to the Prophet (saw), and we were young men of about the same age. We stayed with him (saw) for twenty nights, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) was very tender-hearted. When he (saw) understood that we longed to meet our families, the narrator said qadishtahaina (we desired) or qadishtaqna (we longed), he (saw) asked us whom we had left behind us. We told him (saw). He (saw) said: “Go back to your families. Stay among them, teach them the commandments and tell them to act on them.” (Abu Qilabah used to say: Malik bin Huwairith) related several things, some of which I remember and some I do not remember. (And he (saw) said:) “Pray just as you have seen me praying. When the time of Prayer comes, one of you should give the call to prayer (Adhan), and the eldest of you should lead you in Prayer.”

(Hearing this) his opponent stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah (saw), he has spoken the truth; judge his case according to the Book of Allah, and permit me (to speak). The Prophet (saw) said to him: “Speak.” He said: My son was an asif with this man, and asif means a servant, and he committed adultery with his wife. People told me that my son would be stoned. I ransomed him from him with a hundred goats and a slave girl. Then after that I asked the people of knowledge, and they told me that his wife would be stoned and my son would only be given a hundred lashes and exiled for a year. (Hearing this) he (saw) said: “By Him in Whose hand is my life, I will judge between you two according to the Book of Allah. Return the slave girl and the goats, and your son is to be given a hundred lashes and exiled for a year.” And naming a man of the tribe of Aslam, he (saw) said: “Unais, go tomorrow morning to the wife of this man; if she confesses, stone her.” So Unais went to her in the morning and she confessed, upon which he stoned her.
