حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرٌ قَالَ
كَانَ لِشُرَاحَةَ زَوْجٌ غَائِبٌ بِالشَّامِ، وَإِنَّهَا حَمَلَتْ، فَجَاءَ بِهَا مَوْلَاهَا إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ زَنَتْ، فَاعْتَرَفَتْ، فَجَلَدَهَا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ مِائَةً، وَرَجَمَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَحَفَرَ لَهَا إِلَى السُّرَّةِ، وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجْمَ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَوْ كَانَ شَهِدَ عَلَى هَذِهِ أَحَدٌ لَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَرْمِي الشَّاهِدُ يَشْهَدُ، ثُمَّ يُتْبِعُ شَهَادَتَهُ حَجَرَهُ، وَلَكِنَّهَا أَقَرَّتْ، فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَاهَا، فَرَمَاهَا بِحَجَرٍ، ثُمَّ رَمَى النَّاسُ، وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ، قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ وَاللهِ فِيمَنْ قَتَلَهَا

Sharahah had a husband who was absent in Syria. She became pregnant and her former master brought her to ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ and said: This one has committed zina, She admitted it, so he gave her one hundred lashes on Thursday and stoned her on Friday; he dug a hole for her to her navel, and I was present. Then he said: Stoning is a Sunnah established by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If anyone saw her do it, the first one to throw a stone should be the one who witnessed it; he should give his testimony and follow his testimony with his stone. But she admitted it, so I will be the first one to stone her. He threw a stone at her, then the people stoned her and I was among them. By Allah, I was among those who killed her.

وتكلم الناس في سماع الشعبي من علي
machine translationPeople have spoken about whether al-Shaʿbī heard from ʿAlī.
in مسند أحمد, p. 985 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
ليس بالقوي لأنهم يقولون إن الشعبي لم يسمع منه وهو مشهور قد رواه ابن أبي ليلى وغيره عنه
machine translationIt is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī), because they say that al-Shaʿbī did not hear from him, and it is well known; Ibn Abī Laylā and others have narrated it from him.
in مسند أحمد, p. 985 - Dāraquṭnī
يرويه شعبة واختلف عنه فرواه قعنب بن محرز عن وهب بن جرير عن شعبة عن سلمة بن كهيل عن مجالد عن الشعبي عن أبيه عن علي ووهم فيه في موضعين قوله عن مجالد وإنما هو سلمة ومجالد وفي قوله عن الشعبي عن أبيه وإنما رواه الشعبي عن علي وكذلك رواه الحسين المروذي وغيره عن شعبة عن سلمة ومجالد عن الشعبي أنهما سمعاه يحدث عن علي ورواه عصام بن يوسف عن شعبة عن سلمة عن الشعبي عن ابن أبي ليلى عن علي وخالفه غندر رواه عن شعبة عن سلمة عن الشعبي عن علي وهو الصواب ذكر ذلك وكذلك رواه إسماعيل بن سالم وحصين عن الشعبي عن علي قلت سمع الشعبي من علي قال الشيخ سمع منه حرفا ما سمع غير هذا
machine translationShuʿbah narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Qaʿnab b. Muḥriz narrated it from Wahb b. Jarīr, from Shuʿbah, from Salamah b. Kuhayl, from Mujālid, from al-Shaʿbī, from his father, from ʿAlī, and he erred in two places: in his saying "from Mujālid", when it is really Salamah and Mujālid; and in his saying "from al-Shaʿbī, from his father", when al-Shaʿbī narrated it from ʿAlī. Likewise al-Ḥusayn al-Marwadhī and others narrated it from Shuʿbah, from Salamah and Mujālid, from al-Shaʿbī, that the two of them heard him narrating from ʿAlī. ʿIṣām b. Yūsuf narrated it from Shuʿbah, from Salamah, from al-Shaʿbī, from Ibn Abī Laylā, from ʿAlī. Ghundar contradicted him, narrating it from Shuʿbah, from Salamah, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī, and this is the correct one; he mentioned that. Likewise Ismāʿīl b. Sālim and Ḥuṣayn narrated it from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī. I said: Did al-Shaʿbī hear from ʿAlī? The Shaykh said: He heard one phrase from him; he heard nothing other than this.
