আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) ও যায়দ ইবনু খালিদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত।, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, বাঁদী যিনায় লিপ্ত হলে তাকে চাবুক লাগাবে। আবার যিনা করলে আবারও চাবুক লাগাবে। তৃতীয়বার বা চতুর্থবার বলেছেন, একগাছি রশির বিনিময়ে হলেও তাকে বিক্রি করে ফেলবে। (২১৫২, ২১৫৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৩৭০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
