حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ عُمَرَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ فَكَانَ فِيمَا أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ فَقَرَأْنَاهَا وَوَعَيْنَاهَا وَرَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ إِنْ طَالَ بِالنَّاسِ الزَّمَانُ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ مَا نَجِدُ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَيَضِلُّوا بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَالرَّجْمُ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَى مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ إِذَا كَانَ مُحْصَنًا إِذَا قَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ أَوْ كَانَ حَمْلٌ أَوِ اعْتِرَافٌ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْلاَ أَنْ يَقُولَ النَّاسُ زَادَ عُمَرُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ لَكَتَبْتُهَا

‘Umar b. al-Khattab gave an address saying: Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with truth and sent down the Books of him, and the verse of stoning was included in what He sent down to him. We read it and memorized it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had people stoned to death and we have done it also since his death. I am afraid the people might say with the passage of time: We do not find the verse of stoning in the Books of Allah, and thus they stray by abandoning a duty which Allah had received. Stoning is a duty laid down (by Allah) for married men and women who commit fornication when proof is established, or if there is pregnancy, or a confession. I swear by Allah, had it not been so that the people might say: ‘Umar made an addition to Allah’s Book, I would have written it (there).

    machine translationIt is a hadith that Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm narrates from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUtbah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf, from ʿUmar. Shuʿbah narrated it from him in this way. Al-Zuhrī also narrated it from ʿUbaydullāh, and there is disagreement about it from him. Hushaym narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbaydullāh, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf, from ʿUmar, similar to the statement of Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm from him, in abbreviated form. And it is narrated from Hushaym, from al-Zuhrī, the story of the Saqīfah in full, without mentioning ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf in it. It was likewise narrated by ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Bakr b. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥazm, Mālik b. Anas, Yūnus, ʿUqayl, Maʿmar, Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān, Ibn Jurayj, Ibn ʿUyaynah and others, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbaydullāh, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from ʿUmar. Some of them narrated the story of the Saqīfah in full and some abbreviated it. Saʿīd b. Abī Hind narrated it from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh that ʿUmar addressed the people, without mentioning Ibn ʿAbbās or ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf in it, and he brought only the story of the stoning (rajm) without the rest of the hadith. The preserved (maḥfūẓ) version of this is what al-Zuhrī narrated, in the narration of Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān, ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Bakr, Mālik b. Anas and those who followed them. And it is an authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith through Shuʿbah, from Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm, from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh.
