in that he does not consider completeness in both spouses, and it is appropriate that this be an opinion attributed to Al-Shafi'i. Our argument is what Malik narrated, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, that he said: The Jews came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), [and they mentioned to him that a man and a woman among them had committed adultery.
