Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Ibn Shihab said: "So one who heard Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah informed me, and he said: ."
The Shaykh : This is Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him). He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in the mosque and called out to him, and calling out is done with a loud voice. He said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse." He said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse."
In his statement, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse," there is an explicit admission that he committed unlawful sexual intercourse.
He said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse," so he turned away from him, meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him and did not pay attention to his statement. Then he came to him from the other side; when he turned away, he came to him from the other side and said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse." So he turned away from him, and he came to him from the other side and said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse." When he testified against himself four times, he said: He said, "No." In other narrations of the same hadith, it is mentioned that he ordered a man to smell his breath, meaning to smell the scent of his mouth, in case he was intoxicated, and an intoxicated person is not held to his statement. When the man was not intoxicated and did not have madness, he said: He said, "Yes." And you have understood the concept of being married (ihsan) here. So he ordered with him and said: , so they took him and stoned him. When the stones began to affect him, meaning they hit him and caused him pain, he fled. But the Companions wanted to carry out the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): , so when he fled, they pursued him until they caught him at al-Harra and stoned him. When they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him, he said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20:705, see how the mercy is? Why?
Because the man came from his own self, and when he fled, he was seeking his own salvation and repenting to his Lord (Mighty and Majestic). So wisdom dictates that we leave him to repent, so that Allah may accept his repentance.
This hadith contains benefits. Among the benefits of this hadith:
That it is permissible for a man to confess to himself what necessitates a fixed punishment (hadd), because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted this man's confession. And one does not confess to a sin, but is it better to confess to oneself or is it better to cover up one's own sin?
It is undoubtedly better to cover up one's sin. But if he confessed, he has taken the dispensation (rukhsah), meaning it is not forbidden for him, but it is better to cover up. And perhaps the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) points to this:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20:705.
And I was among those who stoned him, so we stoned him in the prayer area. When the stones began to affect him, he fled, so we caught him at al-Harra and stoned him.
فكنت فيمن رجمه، فرجمناه بالمصلى، فلما أذلقته الحجارة هرب، فأدركناه بالحرة فرجمناهThe Shaykh : This is Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him). He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in the mosque and called out to him, and calling out is done with a loud voice. He said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse." He said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse."
In his statement, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse," there is an explicit admission that he committed unlawful sexual intercourse.
He said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse," so he turned away from him, meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him and did not pay attention to his statement. Then he came to him from the other side; when he turned away, he came to him from the other side and said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse." So he turned away from him, and he came to him from the other side and said, "I have committed unlawful sexual intercourse." When he testified against himself four times, he said:
Is there any madness in you?
أبك جنون ؟Have you ever been married?
هل أحصنت ؟Go, take him and stone him.
اذهبوا به فارجموهStone him.
ارجموهWhy don't you leave him to repent, so that Allah may accept his repentance?
هلا تركتموه يتوب فيتوب الله عليهBecause the man came from his own self, and when he fled, he was seeking his own salvation and repenting to his Lord (Mighty and Majestic). So wisdom dictates that we leave him to repent, so that Allah may accept his repentance.
