Hadiths on Prescribed Punishment for Calumny

This category brings together 4 hadiths (three authentic, one good) on the punishment for the accusation of adultery. It contains the rule that a flogged fornicator can marry none but his like. It then reports the vindication proclaimed from the pulpit, followed by the punishment applied to the false accusers, as well as the accusation of his wife by Hilāl ibn Umayyah before the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). A last hadith warns whoever slanders his slave unjustly: he will be flogged on the Day of Resurrection.
