Question

With regard to the answer about Sayyiduna ‘Umar and the thief, is there any version of the incident that mentions that a person who made zina was brought to Sayyiduna ‘Umar and not a thief?

 

Answer

Certain Fiqh books have mentioned that the person had committed adultery rather than stealing. However, Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) states he has not come across this version. (لم أره في حق الزاني)

(At Talkhisul Habir, Hadith: 2160)

The version mentioned here should be quoted instead.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

تلخيص الحبير:
(٢١٦٠) – 
قوله: قال عمر لزان قدم ليقام عليه الحد، وادعى أنه أول ما ابتلي به: إن الله تعالى كريم لا يهتك الستر أول مرة. هذا لم أره في حق الزاني، إنما أخرجه البيهقي من طريق حماد بن سلمة، عن ثابت، عن أنس أن عمر أتي بسارق، فقال: والله ما سرقت قط قبلها: فقال: كذبت ما كان الله ليسلم عبدا عند أول ذنب، فقطعه. وإسناده قوي.
