Saad bin Ubada said, "Messenger of Allah, if I were to find a man with my wife, must I refrain from touching him until I bring four witnesses?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes."Saad said, "Never! By the One who sent you with the truth, I would strike him with the sword before that."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Listen to what your chief is saying. He is a man of jealous honor, but I am more jealous than he is, and Allah is more jealous than I am."
قال سعد بن عبادة: يا رسول الله، لو وجدت مع أهلي رجلا لم أمسه حتى آتي بأربعة شهداء؟ قال رسول الله ﷺ: نعم. قال: كلا، والذي بعثك بالحق إن كنت لأعاجله بالسيف قبل ذلك، قال رسول الله ﷺ: اسمعوا إلى ما يقول سيدكم، إنه لغيور، وأنا أغير منه، والله أغير مني.
Muslim narrated it in the chapter on lian (16:1498), from Abu Bakr bin Abu Shayba, from Khalid bin Mukhlad, from Sulayman bin Bilal, who said, Suhayl told me, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned it.
