The report about Abu Shahmah, in which it is mentioned that his father flogged him for fornication until he died, has a weak chain of narration (sanad), as stated by Ibn Hajar in "Al-Isabah." The occurrence of sins is possible from some companions due to the general saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "All the children of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."
