"a previously married person with a previously married person and a virgin with a virgin; the previously married person receives one hundred lashes, then stoning with stones, and the virgin receives one hundred lashes, then exile for a year."

"the delight of my eye is in prayer." Narrated by al-ʿUqaylī in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (465): Muḥammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Balkhī narrated to us, Yaḥyá ibn ʿUthmān narrated to us, Haql ibn Ziyād narrated from al-Awzāʿī, from Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Ṭalḥah, from Anas ibn Mālik, attributed to the Prophet. And he said: "Yaḥyá ibn ʿUthmān al-Ḥarbī from Haql is not followed in his ḥadīth from al-Awzāʿī." I said: This Yaḥyá is trustworthy as will be shown, and so is his teacher Haql, and it does not harm a trustworthy person that his ḥadīth is not followed. This ḥadīth was also recorded by al-Khaṭīb in the biography of this Yaḥyá (12/371 and 14/190) through two other chains from him, then he said: "Haql ibn Ziyād uniquely narrated this ḥadīth in this connected form from al-Awzāʿī, and I have not seen it except from the narration of Yaḥyá ibn ʿUthmān from Haql. Al-Walīd ibn Muslim contradicted him, narrating it from al-Awzāʿī from Isḥāq from the Prophet ﷺ as mursal, not mentioning Anas." Then he provided his chain of transmission to al-Walīd. I said: This contradiction holds no weight for two reasons: first, Haql ibn Ziyād added the connection, and the addition of a trustworthy person is accepted. Second, he is more reliable in al-Awzāʿī than al-Walīd, as the critics unanimously agree that he is the most reliable narrator in al-Awzāʿī. Therefore, his narration, in the case of contradiction, is preferred over that of al-Walīd ibn Muslim, so consider this. In summary, the ḥadīth is authentic in my view with this isnād, as all its narrators are trustworthy and well-known. As for this Yaḥyá, al-Khaṭīb narrated from Ibn Maʿīn that he is trustworthy, and from Ṣāliḥ ibn Muḥammad Jazrah: truthful, and he was among the devout. He was also declared trustworthy by Abū Zurʿah and Ibn Ḥibbān as mentioned in "al-Mīzān" and "al-Lisān."
