حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ رَوْحِ بْنِ خُلَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الْوَهْبِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دَلْهَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْمُحَبَّقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِت، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ نَاسٌ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ثَابِتٍ قَدْ نَزَلَتِ الْحُدُودُ لَوْ أَنَّكَ وَجَدْتَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِكَ رَجُلًا كَيْفَ كُنْتَ صَانِعًا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ ضَارِبَهُمَا بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى يَسْكُتَا أَفَأَنَا أَذْهَبُ فَأَجْمَعُ أَرْبَعَةَ شُهَدَاءٍ فَإِلَى ذَلِكَ قَدْ قَضَى الْحَاجَةَ فَانْطَلَقُوا فَاجْتَمَعُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كَفَى بِالسَّيْفِ شَاهِدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا لَا أَخَافُ أَنْ يَتَتَابَعَ فِيهَا السَّكْرَانُ وَالْغَيْرَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ رَوَى وَكِيعٌ أَوَّلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ دَلْهَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْمُحَبَّقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّمَا هَذَا إِسْنَادُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ الْمُحَبَّقِ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دَلْهَمٍ لَيْسَ بِالْحَافِظِ كَانَ قَصَّابًا بِوَاسِطَ.

Some people said to Saad bin Ubadah: Abu Thabit, the prescribed punishments have been revealed: if you find a man with your wife, what will you do? He said: I shall strike them with a sword so much that they become silent (i. e. die). Should I go and gather four witnesses? Until that (time) the need would be fulfilled. So they went away and gathered with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said: Messenger of Allah! did you not see Abu Thabit. He said so-and-so. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: The sword is a sufficient witness. He then said: No, no, a furious and a jealous man may follow this course. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Waki from al-Fadl bin Dilham from al-Hasan, from Qabisah bin Huraith, from Salamah bin al-Muhabbaq, from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. And this is the chain of the tradition narrated by Ibn al-Muhabbaq to the effect that a man had sexual intercourse with a slave girl of his wife. Abu Dawud said: Al-Fadl bin Dilham was not the memoriser of traditions. He was a butcher in Wasit.
