English Translation
Sa'id ibn Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah said: There was a small, weak, sickly man among our houses. He was caught with a slave girl from among our slave girls. Sa'd mentioned this to the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: "Give him his prescribed punishment (hadd)." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, if we flog him, we will kill him — he is weak." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Take a bundle of palm branches with a hundred twigs and strike him once with it."
