Original Arabic wording
عن عبادة بن الصامت، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «خُذُوا عني، خُذُوا عني، قد َجَعَلَ الُله لَهُنَّ سبيلا، البِكْرُ بالبِكْر جَلْدُ مِائة ونَفْيُ سَنَةٍ، والثَّيِّبُ بالثيب جلد مائة والرجم».Understand this hadith
This Hadīth shows that Allah, the Almighty, revealed a final prescribed punishment for those who commit fornication or adultery, whether or not they got married before. A virgin who fornicates is to be lashed one hundred times and exiled from his/her country. Also, a previously married man or woman who commits adultery is to be lashed and stoned to death. This ruling abrogated the verse of Sūrat An-Nisā', or explained what is meant by the "another way" mentioned in the verse. Allah, the Exalted, says: {Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.} [Sūrat An-Nisā': 15]
