Hadith 5:258
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, al-Hajjaj informed us, from al-Hasan ibn Sa'd, from his father, that Yuhannis and Safiyyah were among the captives of the khums (one-fifth share). Safiyyah committed adultery with a man from the khums, and she gave birth to a boy. The adulterer and Yuhannis both claimed him. They disputed before 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, so he referred them to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib. 'Ali said: "I will judge regarding this with the judgment of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: 'The child belongs to the bed, and for the adulterer is the stone.'" And he flogged them both fifty [lashes] each.
حدثنا عفان، حدثنا حماد بن سلمة، أخبرنا الحجاج، عن الحسن بن سعد، عن أبيه، أن يحنس، وصفية، كانا من سبي الخمس، فزنت صفية برجل من الخمس، فولدت غلاما فادعاه الزاني ويحنس، فاختصما إلى عثمان بن عفان، فرفعهما إلى علي بن أبي طالب، فقال علي: أقضي فيها بقضاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " الولد للفراش، وللعاهر الحجر ". وجلدهما خمسين خمسين
