‘Ali reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, "The covering between the eyes of the jinn and the private parts of the children of Adam when one of them enters the privy is provided by his saying, ‘In the name of Allah.’” Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying that this is a gharib tradition and that its isnad is not strong.

Nafi' said he was informed by Safiya daughter of Abu ‘Ubaid that one of the Caliph’s slaves had intercourse with a girl who was among the fifth of the booty, forcing her to it against her will, and deflowered her. ‘Umar had him beaten but did not have her beaten because he had forced her against her will. Bukhari transmitted it.

Yazid b. Nu'aim b. Hazzal told on his father’s authority that Ma'iz b. Malik who was an orphan under his father's protection had intercourse with a slave girl belonging to the clan, so his father told him to go and inform Allah's Messenger ﷺ what he had done, for he might perhaps ask forgiveness for him. His purpose in that was simply a hope that it might be a way of escape for him. He went to him and said, “ Messenger of Allah , I have committed fornication, so inflict on me the punishment ordained by Allah.” He turned away from him, so he came back and said, “Messenger of Allah, I have committed fornication, so inflict on me the punishment ordained by Allah.” When he had said it four times Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, “You have said it four times. With whom did you commit it?” When he replied that it was with so and so he asked whether he had lain with her and he replied that he had. He asked whether his skin had been in contact with hers and he replied that it had. He then asked whether he had had intercourse with her and he replied that he had. He ordered him to be stoned to death and he was taken out to the harra, but when he felt the effect of the stones and could not bear it he went away quickly. But ‘Abdallah b. Unais encountered him when those who had been stoning him could not catch up on him, threw the bone of a camel’s foreleg at him, hit him and killed him. Then when he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him he said, “Why did you not leave him alone,* for perhaps he might have repented and been forgiven by Allah.” Abu Dawud transmitted it. *The verb is in the plural.

‘Amr b. al-'As told that he heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ say, “Fornication will not appear among any people without their being punished by famine, and bribery will not appear among any people without their being punished by terror.” Ahmad transmitted it.

Ibn ‘Abbas and Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Accursed is he who does what Lot's people did." In a version by him on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas it says that ‘Ali had the two people concerned burned and that Abu Bakr had a wall thrown down on them. Razin transmitted it.

[Ibn ‘Abbas] reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Allah who is great and glorious will not look at a man who has intercourse with a man or a woman through the anus." Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying; this is a hasan gharib tradition.

He reported him as saying, “There is no prescribed punishment for one who has intercourse with an animal." Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it. Tirmidhi quoted Sufyan ath-Thauri as saying that this is sounder than the first tradition, “Kill him who has intercourse with an animal," (Cf. p. 763) and that the learned act according to this one.

‘Ubada b. as-Samit reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Enforce Allah’s prescribed punishments on those who are near and those who are distant, and let no one’s blame come upon you regarding [the enforcement of] Allah’s [punishments]." Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Enforcing one of Allah’s prescribed punishments is better than forty nights' rain in Allah’s land." Ibn Majah transmitted it, and Nasa’i transmitted it on the authority of Abu Huraira.
