Narrated Abu Huraira:A man from among the people, came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting in the mosque, and addressed him, saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed an illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed an illegal intercourse." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face to the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he confessed four times, the Prophet (ﷺ) called him and said, "Are you mad?" He said, "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet said, "Are you married?" He said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the people), "Take him away and stone him to death." Ibn Shihab added, "I was told by one who heard Jabir, that Jabir said, 'I was among those who stoned the man, and we stoned him at the Musalla (`Id praying Place), and when the stones troubled him, he jumped quickly and ran away, but we overtook him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death (there).' "

Sahih
Ibn al-Musayyab and Abu Salama related that Abu Hurayra said, "A man from the people came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he was in the mosque. He called him, 'Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned away from him. The man came to the side to which the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned his face and said, 'Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned away from him. The man came to the side to which the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned his face. When he had testified against himself four times, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called him and said, 'Are you mad?' He said, 'No, Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Are you a muhsan?' He answered. 'Yes, Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Take him and stone him.'" Ibn Shihab said, "Someone who heard Jabir told me, 'I was one of those stoned him. We stoned him in the prayer place. When the edges of the stones hurt him, he ran until we caught him at al-Harra and stoned him.'"
