Arabic hadith textعن ابن عمر أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ضَرَبَ وَغَرَّبَ، وأن أبا بكر ضَرَبَ وَغَرَّبَ، وأن عمر ضَرَبَ وَغَرَّبَ.
English translationIbn ‘Umar reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) beat and exiled, Abu Bakr beat and exiled, and ‘Umar beat and exiled.
ExplanationExplanation of the hadith
In this Hadīth, Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) applied the punishment of fornication on virgin fornicators with one hundred lashes and one year of exile. Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with both of hem, did the same. So, this is proof that exiling is part and parcel of the prescribed punishment for fornication. It was not abrogated, for it was applied after the Prophet's death.
