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.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مِالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ جَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ وَامْرَأَةً زَنَيَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فِي شَأْنِ الزِّنَا ؟ فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ نَفْضَحُهُمْ وَيُجْلَدُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَبْتُمْ إِنَّ فِيهَا الرَّجْمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَوْا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَنَشَرُوهَا فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَدَهُ عَلَى آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ مَا قَبْلَهَا وَمَا بَعْدَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ:‏‏‏‏ ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَفَعَهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ صَدَقَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُجِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يَحْنِي عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ يَقِيهَا الْحِجَارَةَ .
عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ   یہود نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں آئے اور آپ سے ذکر کیا کہ ان میں سے ایک مرد اور ایک عورت نے زنا کر لیا ہے، تو ان سے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے پوچھا: تم تورات میں زنا کے معاملہ میں کیا حکم پاتے ہو؟ تو ان لوگوں نے کہا: ہم انہیں رسوا کرتے اور کوڑے لگاتے ہیں، تو عبداللہ بن سلام رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا: تم لوگ جھوٹ کہتے ہو، اس میں تو رجم کا حکم ہے، چنانچہ وہ لوگ تورات لے کر آئے، اور اسے کھولا تو ان میں سے ایک نے آیت رجم پر اپنا ہاتھ رکھ لیا، پھر وہ اس کے پہلے اور بعد کی آیتیں پڑھنے لگا، تو عبداللہ بن سلام نے اس سے کہا: اپنا ہاتھ اٹھاؤ، اس نے اٹھایا تو وہیں آیت رجم ملی، تو وہ کہنے لگے: صحیح ہے اے محمد! اس میں رجم کی آیت موجود ہے، تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان دونوں کے رجم کا حکم دے دیا، چنانچہ وہ دونوں رجم کر دیے گئے۔ عبداللہ بن عمر کہتے ہیں: میں نے اس شخص کو دیکھا کہ وہ عورت کو پتھر سے بچانے کے لیے اس پر جھک جھک جایا کرتا تھا۔

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.

Jabir bin Abdullah said: The Jews brought a man and a woman of them who had committed fornication. He said: Bring me two learned men or yours. So they brought the two sons of Suriya. He adjured them and said: How do you think about the matter if these two persons bear witness to the effect that they have seen his sexual organ in her female organ (penetrated) like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case, they will be stoned to death. He asked: What is there which prevents you from stoning them: They replied: Our rule has gone, so we disapproved of killing. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then called four witnesses. They brought four witnesses. Who testified that they had seen his sexual organ (penetrated) in her female organ like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then gave orders for stoning them.
