عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ - وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
أَوَّلُ مَرْجُومٍ رَجَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، زَنَى رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ وَامْرَأَةٌ، فَتَشَاوَرَ عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا أَمْرَهُمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: إِنَّ هَذَا النَّبِيَّ بُعِثَ بِتَخْفِيفٍ، وَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ الرَّجْمَ فُرِضَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ، فَانْطَلِقُوا بِنَا نَسْأَلْ هَذَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرِ صَاحِبَيْنَا اللَّذَيْنِ زَنَيَا بَعْدَمَا أَحْصَنَا، فَإِنْ أَفْتَانَا بِفُتْيَا دُونَ الرَّجْمِ قَبِلْنَا وَأَخَذْنَا بِتَخْفِيفٍ، وَاحْتَجَجْنَا بِهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ حِينَ نَلْقَاهُ وَقُلْنَا: قَبِلْنَا فُتْيَا نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَائِكَ، وَإِنْ أَمَرَنَا بِالرَّجْمِ عَصَيْنَاهُ، فَقَدْ عَصَيْنَا اللهَ فِيمَا كَتَبَ عَلَيْنَا أَنَّ الرَّجْمَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ، فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ وَامْرَأَةٍ زَنَيَا بَعْدَمَا أَحْصَنَا ؟ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمَا شَيْئًا، وَقَامَ مَعَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى أَتَوْا بَيْتَ مِدْرَاسِ الْيَهُودِ وَهُمْ يَتَدَارَسُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ، أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ عَلَى مُوسَى مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَى إِذَا أَحْصَنَ ؟ " قَالُوا: يُحَمَّمُ وَيُجَبَّهُ، قَالُوا: وَالتَّحْمِيمُ أَنْ يُحْمَلَ الزَّانِيَانِ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَيُقَابَلُ أَقْفِيَتُهُمَا وَيُطَافُ بِهِمَا، قَالَ: وَسَكَتَ حَبْرُهُمْ وَهُوَ فَتًى شَابٌّ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَلَظَّ بِهِ، فَقَالَ حَبْرُهُمُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِذْ نَشَدْتَنَا فَإِنَّا نَجِدُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ الرَّجْمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " فَمَا أَوَّلُ مَا ارْتَخَصْتُمْ أَمْرَ اللهِ ؟ " قَالُوا: زَنَى رَجُلٌ مِنَّا ذُو قَرَابَةٍ مِنْ مَلِكٍ مِنْ مُلُوكِنَا، فَسَجَنَهُ وَأَخَرَّ عَنْهُ الرَّجْمَ، ثُمَّ زَنَى بَعْدَهُ آخَرُ فِي أُسْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَأَرَادَ الْمَلِكُ رَجْمَهُ، فَحَالَ قَوْمُهُ - أَوْ قَالَ: فَقَامَ قَوْمٌ دُونَهُ - فَقَالُوا: لَا وَاللهِ، لَا يُرْجَمُ صَاحِبُنَا حَتَّى تَجِيءَ بِصَاحِبِكَ فَتَرْجُمَهُ، فَأَصْلَحُوا هَذِهِ الْعُقُوبَةَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: " فَإِنِّي أَحْكُمُ بِمَا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ "، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرُجِمَا

The first person stoned by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was from among the Jews. A man and a woman of them committed adultery, and their scholars consulted one another before bringing their case to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Some of them said to others: "This Prophet has been sent with leniency, and we know that stoning was prescribed in the Torah. So come with us, let us ask this Prophet ﷺ about the case of our two companions who committed adultery after being married. If he gives us a ruling short of stoning, we will accept it and take the lenient course, and we will use it as an argument before Allah when we meet Him, and we will say: 'We accepted the ruling of a prophet from among Your prophets.' And if he commands us to stone them, we will have disobeyed him, and we will have disobeyed Allah regarding what He prescribed for us, that stoning is in the Torah." So they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting in the mosque among his Companions, and they said: "O Abū al-Qāsim, what do you think about a man and a woman of them who committed adultery after being married?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and did not give them any reply, and some men of the Muslims stood with him until they came to the schoolhouse of the Jews, while they were studying the Torah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood at the door and said: "O assembly of Jews, I adjure you by Allah, who revealed the Torah to Moses, what do you find in the Torah as the punishment for one who commits adultery when he is married?" They said: "He is blackened and flogged." They said: "Blackening means that the two adulterers are mounted on a donkey, with their backs turned to each other, and paraded around." He said: And their rabbi, who was a young man, remained silent. When the Prophet ﷺ saw him, he pressed him earnestly, and their rabbi said: "O Allah, since you have adjured us, we find stoning in the Torah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Then what was the first way in which you relaxed the command of Allah?" They said: "A man of ours, a relative of one of our kings, committed adultery, and he imprisoned him and delayed the stoning for him. Then after him another man committed adultery, from a family among the people, and the king wished to stone him, but his people intervened - or he said: some people stood in his defense - and they said: 'No, by Allah, our man will not be stoned until you bring your man and stone him.' So they agreed upon this punishment among themselves." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Then I judge by what is in the Torah." And the Prophet ﷺ gave the command concerning them, and they were stoned.
