The aforementioned hadith, in its exact wording, has not been found, but some of its phrases have appeared separately in various sources. Al-Bayhaqi reported in "Shu'ab al-Iman" that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, during the Isra and Mi'raj journey, saw men whose skins were being cut with fiery scissors, and these were "those who adorn themselves for zina (unlawful sexual intercourse)." He also saw a putrid well with intense voices, belonging to "women who used to adorn themselves for zina and commit what was not lawful for them." Furthermore, he saw women and men hanging by their breasts, and these were "the slanderers and tale-bearers."
