Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:A bedouin came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's apostle! I ask you by Allah to judge My case according to Allah's Laws." His opponent, who was more learned than he, said, "Yes, judge between us according to Allah's Laws, and allow me to speak." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Speak." He (i .e. the bedouin or the other man) said, "My son was working as a laborer for this (man) and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that it was obligatory that my son should be stoned to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my son by paying one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious scholars about it, and they informed me that my son must be lashed one hundred lashes, and be exiled for one year, and the wife of this (man) must be stoned to death." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her guilt, stone her to death." Unais went to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that she be stoned to death.

Sahih
It is related that Abu Hurayra and Zayd ibn Khalif al-Juhani said, "A bedouin man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, I ask you by Allah, to judge for me by the Book of Allah.' The other opponent, who had more understanding than him, stood up and said, 'Yes, judge between us by the Book of Allah. Give me permission to speak.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Speak.' He said, 'My son works for this man and committed fornication with his wife. I was told that my son must be stoned, and so I ransomed my son with a hundred sheep and a slave-girl. Then I asked the people of knowledge and they informed me, "Your son must receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for a year and this woman must be stoned."' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'My the One in whose hand is my soul, I will judge between the two of you by the Book of Allah. The slave-girl and sheep must be returned and your son must receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for a year. Unays, go to the wife of this man and if she confesses, stone her.'" He said, "He went to her and she confessed and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded that she be stoned."
