They passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a Jewish man who had been lashed and whose face had been blackened. He asked the Jews: "Who is your scholar?" They said: So-and-so. So he sent for him and he came. He said: "What do you find as the punishment for adultery in your book?" They said: We find it to be stoning, but adultery became widespread among our nobles, so when a noble committed adultery he was not stoned, and when a lowly person committed adultery he was stoned. So we agreed upon lashing and blackening the face. The Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be stoned, and he was stoned. Then he said: "O Allah, I call You to witness that I am the first to revive a Sunnah that they had let die."
