موطأ مالك 1511

Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam that a man confessed to fornication in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called for a whip, and he was brought a broken whip. He said, "Above this," and he was brought a new whip whose knots had not been cut yet. He said, "Below this," and he was brought a whip which had been used and made flexible. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave the order and he was flogged. Then he said, "People! The time has come for you to observe the limits of Allah. Whoever has had any of these ugly things befall him should cover them up with the veil of Allah. Whoever reveals to us his wrong action, we perform what is in the Book of Allah against him

Zaid Ibn Aslam a rapporté, qu'au temps de l'Envoyé d'Allah r (salallahou alayhi wa salam) (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) un homme s'est confessé d'avoir commis l'adultère.L'Envoyé d'Allah r (salallahou alayhi wa salam) (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) demanda qu'on lui apporte un fouet. On lui apporta un fouet brisé, il dit: «Que le fouet soit plus long». Ainsi, ou lui apporta un fouet neuf qui avait le extrémités encore dures». «Un autre moins dur que celui-ci, dit l'Envoyé d'Allah r (salallahou alayhi wa salam) (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah)». On lui apporta un fouet convenable, il ordonna que l'homme soit fouetté, puis il dit: «Hommes! Il est déjà temps que vous observiez les peines prescrites par Allah. Que celui qui commet un tel ignoble crime, qu'il se cache par le voile d'Allah. Et quiconque ainsi celui qui nous fait savoir qu'il l'a commis, nous le soumettrons à la peine, selon Le Livre d'Allah»
