Abu Hurairah and Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani said: Two men brought a dispute before the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. One of them said: Pronounce judgement between us in accordance with Allah’s Book, Messenger of Allah! The other who had more understanding said: Yes, Messenger of Allah! Pronounce judgement between us in accordance with Allah’s Book, and allow me to speak. He (the Prophet) said: Speak, He then said: My son who was a hired servant with this (man) committed fornication with his wife, and when I was told that my son must be stoned to death, I ransomed him with a hundred sheep and a slave girl of mine; but when I asked the learned, they told me that my son should receive a hundred lashes and be banished for a year, and that stoning to death applied only to man’s wife. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم replied: By him in whose hand my soul is, I shall certainly pronounce judgment between you in accordance with Allah’s Book. Your sheep and your slave girl must be returned to you, and your son shall receive a hundred lashes and be banished for a year. And he commanded Unias al-Aslami go to that man’s wife, and if she confessed, he should stone her to death. She confessed and he stoned her.

ابوہریرہ اور زید بن خالد جہنی رضی اللہ عنہما روایت کرتے ہیں کہ   دو آدمی رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس جھگڑا لے گئے، ان میں سے ایک نے کہا: اللہ کے رسول! ہمارے مابین اللہ کی کتاب کی روشنی میں فیصلہ فرما دیجئیے، اور دوسرے نے جو ان دونوں میں زیادہ سمجھ دار تھا کہا: ہاں، اللہ کے رسول! ہمارے درمیان اللہ کی کتاب سے فیصلہ فرمائیے، لیکن پہلے مجھے کچھ کہنے کی اجازت دیجئیے، آپ نے فرمایا: اچھا کہو اس نے کہنا شروع کیا: میرا بیٹا اس کے یہاں «عسیف» یعنی مزدور تھا، اس نے اس کی بیوی سے زنا کر لیا تو ان لوگوں نے مجھے بتایا کہ میرے بیٹے پر رجم ہے، تو میں نے اسے اپنی سو بکریاں اور ایک لونڈی فدیئے میں دے دی، پھر میں نے اہل علم سے مسئلہ پوچھا، تو ان لوگوں نے مجھے بتایا کہ میرے بیٹے پر سو کوڑے اور ایک سال کی جلا وطنی ہے، اور رجم اس کی بیوی پر ہے تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: سنو! قسم ہے اس ذات کی جس کے ہاتھ میں میری جان ہے، میں ضرور بالضرور تم دونوں کے درمیان اللہ کی کتاب سے فیصلہ کروں گا، رہی تمہاری بکریاں اور تمہاری لونڈی تو یہ تمہیں واپس ملیں گی اور اس کے بیٹے کو آپ نے سو کوڑے لگوائے، اور اسے ایک سال کے لیے جلا وطن کر دیا، اور انیس اسلمی کو حکم دیا کہ وہ اس دوسرے شخص کی بیوی کے پاس جائیں، اور اس سے پوچھیں اگر وہ اقرار کرے تو اسے رجم کر دیں، چنانچہ اس نے اقرار کر لیا، تو انہوں نے اسے رجم کر دیا۔

Ibn Umar said: some jews came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned to him that a man and a women of their number had committed fornication. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked them: What do you find in the Torah about stoning? They replied: We disgrace them and they should be flogged. Abdullah bin Salam said: You lie; it contains (instruction for) stoning. So they brought the Torah and spread it out, and one of them put his hand over the verse of stoning and read what preceded it and what followed it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him: Lift your hand. When he did so, the verse of stoning was seen to be in it. They then said: He has spoken the truth, Muhammad, the verse of stoning is in it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then gave command regarding them, and they were stoned to death. Abdullah bin Umar said: I saw the man leaning on the woman protecting her from the stones.

Al-Bara bin Azib said: The people passed by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم with a jew whose face blackened with charcoal and he was being taken around. He adjured them by Allah and asked: What is the prescribed punishment for a fornicator in your Divine book? He (the narrator) said: They referred him to a man of them. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم adjured him and asked: What is the punishment for a fornication in your Divine Book? He replied: Stoning. But fornication spread among our people of rank, so we disliked that a person of rank should be left alone and the punishment be inflicted on one who is lower in rank than him. So we suspended it for us. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then commanded regarding him and he was stoned to death. He then said: O Allah! I am the first to give life to a command of Thy Book which they had killed.

Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: The people passed by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم with a Jew who was blackened with charcoal and who was being flogged. He called them and said: Is this the prescribed punishment for a fornicator? They said: Yes. He then called on a learned man among them and asked him: I adjure you by Allah Who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you find this prescribed punishment for a fornicator in your divine Book? He said: By Allah, no. If you had not adjured me about this, I should not have informed you. We find stoning to be prescribed punishment for a fornicator in our Divine Book. But it (fornication) became frequent in our people of rank; so when we seized a person of rank, we left him alone, and when we seized a weak person, we inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. So we said: Come, let us agree on something which may be enforced equally on people of higher and lower rank. So we agreed to blacken the face of a criminal with charcoal, and flog him, and we abandoned stoning. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said: O Allah, I am the first to give life to Thy command which they have killed. So he commanded regarding him (the Jew) and he was stoned to death. Allah Most High then sent down: O Messenger, let not those who race one another into unbelief, make thee grieve. . . up to They say: If you are given this, take it, but if not, beware!. . . . up to And if any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) unbelievers, about Jews, up to And if any do fail to judge by (the right of) what Allah hath revealed, they are no better than) wrong-doers about Jews: and revealed the verses up to And if any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel. About this he said: This whole verse was revealed about the infidels.

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar: A group of Jews came and invited the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to Quff. So he visited them in their school. They said: Abul Qasim, one of our men has committed fornication with a woman; so pronounce judgment upon them. They placed a cushion for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم who sat on it and said: Bring the Torah. It was then brought. He then withdrew the cushion from beneath him and placed the Torah on it saying: I believed in thee and in Him Who revealed thee. He then said: Bring me one who is learned among you. Then a young man was brought. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition of stoning similar to the one transmitted by Malik from Nafi (No. 4431).

Narrated Abu Hurairah: (This is Mamar's version which is more accurate. ) A man and a woman of the Jews committed fornication. Some of them said to the others: Let us go to this Prophet, for he has been sent with an easy law. If he gives a judgment lighter than stoning, we shall accept it, and argue about it with Allah, saying: It is a judgment of one of your prophets. So they came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم who was sitting in the mosque among his companions. They said: Abul Qasim, what do you think about a man and a woman who committed fornication? He did not speak to them a word till he went to their school. He stood at the gate and said: I adjure you by Allah Who revealed the Torah to Moses, what (punishment) do you find in the Torah for a person who commits fornication, if he is married? They said: He shall be blackened with charcoal, taken round a donkey among the people, and flogged. A young man among them kept silent. When the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم emphatically adjured him, he said: By Allah, since you have adjured us (we inform you that) we find stoning in the Torah (is the punishment for fornication). The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: So when did you lessen the severity of Allah's command? He said: A relative of one of our kings had committed fornication, but his stoning was suspended. Then a man of a family of common people committed fornication. He was to have been stoned, but his people intervened and said: Our man shall not be stoned until you bring your man and stone him. So they made a compromise on this punishment between them. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: So I decide in accordance with what the Torah says. He then commanded regarding them and they were stoned to death. Az-Zuhri said: We have been informed that this verse was revealed about them: It was We Who revealed the Law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judged the Jews, by the Prophet who bowed (as in Islam) to Allah's will.

Abu Hurairah said: A man and a woman of the Jews who were married committed fornication at the time when the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came to Madina. Stoning was a prescribed punishment for them in accordance with the Torah, but they abandoned it and followed tajbiyyah, meaning, the man was beaten a hundred times with a rope painted with tar and was seated on a donkey with his face towards the tail of the donkey. Their rabbis then assembled and sent some people to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. They said to them: Ask him about the prescribed punishment for fornication. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition. They version adds: They were not the followers of his religion, and he (the prophet) was to pronounce judgment between them. So he was given a choice in this verse: ”If they do come to thee, either judge between them, or decline to interfere.
