\nNarrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:\n \n\nThe Jews brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) a man and a woman from among them who had committed illegal \nsexual intercourse. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to them, "How do you usually punish the one amongst you who \nhas committed illegal sexual intercourse?" They replied, "We blacken their faces with coal and beat \nthem," He said, "Don't you find the order of Ar-Rajm (i.e. stoning to death) in the Torah?" They \nreplied, "We do not find anything in it." `Abdullah bin Salam (after hearing this conversation) said to \nthem. "You have told a lie! Bring here the Torah and recite it if you are truthful." (So the Jews brought \nthe Torah). And the religious teacher who was teaching it to them, put his hand over the Verse of Ar- \nRajm and started reading what was written above and below the place hidden with his hand, but he did \nnot read the Verse of Ar-Rajm. `Abdullah bin Salam removed his (i.e. the teacher's) hand from the \nVerse of Ar-Rajm and said, "What is this?" So when the Jews saw that Verse, they said, "This is the \nVerse of Ar-Rajm." So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the two adulterers to be stoned to death, and they were \nstoned to death near the place where biers used to be placed near the Mosque. I saw her companion \n(i.e. the adulterer) bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones.\n

\nحَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ، جَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ وَامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ زَنَيَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ ‏"‏ كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُونَ بِمَنْ زَنَى مِنْكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا نُحَمِّمُهُمَا وَنَضْرِبُهُمَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ الرَّجْمَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالُوا لاَ نَجِدُ فِيهَا شَيْئًا‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ كَذَبْتُمْ ‏{‏فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ‏}‏ فَوَضَعَ مِدْرَاسُهَا الَّذِي يُدَرِّسُهَا مِنْهُمْ كَفَّهُ عَلَى آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ، فَطَفِقَ يَقْرَأُ مَا دُونَ يَدِهِ وَمَا وَرَاءَهَا، وَلاَ يَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ، فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ عَنْ آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ قَالُوا هِيَ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا فَرُجِمَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ حَيْثُ مَوْضِعُ الْجَنَائِزِ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَهَا يَجْنَأُ عَلَيْهَا يَقِيهَا الْحِجَارَةَ‏.‏
