Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Book 15, Hadith 326 (English) ⓘ
'Ata thought that an exemplary punishment should be carried out on anyone who makes adultery known. He said, "He has made indecency known."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى النَّكَالَ عَلَى مَنْ أَشَاعَ الزِّنَا، يَقُولُ: أَشَاعَ الْفَاحِشَةَ.
