    ✧ Some people say that the caliphate of Abu Bakr was a slip, but Allah protected from its evil, and there is no caliphate except by consultation. Any man who pledges allegiance to a man without consultation, neither of them is to be appointed as ruler, as a deterrent lest they be killed. Shuʿbah said: I said to Saʿd, “What does ‘as a deterrent lest they be killed’ mean?” He said: “Their punishment is that neither of them is appointed as ruler.” They also say concerning stoning: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned and we stoned, and Allah revealed in His Book. Were it not that people would say, “He added to the Book of Allah,” I would have written it with my own hand until I appended it to the Book.

    أَنَّهُ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَكَ رَعَاعُ النَّاسِ وَسِفْلَتُهُمْ فَأَخِّرْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ دَنَوْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنِّي قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ خِلَافَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ كَانَتْ فَلْتَةً وَإِنَّ اللهَ وَقَى شَرَّهَا إِنَّهُ لَا خِلَافَةَ إِلَّا عَنْ مَشُورَةٍ فَلَا يُؤَمَّرُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا تَغِرَّةَ أَنْ يُقْتَلَا وَأَنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ مَا بَالُ الرَّجْمِ وَإِنَّمَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ الْجَلْدُ؟ وَقَدْ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ وَلَوْلَا أَنْ يَقُولُوا «أَثْبَتَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ لَأَثْبَتُّهَا كَمَا أُنْزِلَتْ» 7117 أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَذْرَمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ حَجَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّهُ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ رِعَاعُ النَّاسِ فَأَخِّرْ ذَلِكَ نَحْوَهُ

    ✧ "Indeed the rabble and lowly people have gathered around you; so delay this until you come to Madinah." He said: When he arrived in Madinah, I drew near to the pulpit and heard him say: "I have come to know that some people say the caliphate of Abu Bakr was a sudden affair, and Allah warded off its evil. Indeed there is no caliphate except by consultation, so one of them is not to be appointed as commander, lest they be killed. And some people say: What about stoning, when in the Book of Allah there is only flogging? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned, and we stoned after him. Were it not that people would say: He has affirmed in the Book of Allah what is not in it, I would have affirmed it as it was revealed." 7117 Abdullah b. Muhammad b. Ishaq al-Adhrami informed me, saying: Ghundar narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us from Sa'd b. Ibrahim, who said: I heard Ubayd Allah b. Abdullah b. Utbah narrating from Ibn Abbas from Abd al-Rahman b. Awf, who said: Umar b. al-Khattab performed Hajj and wanted to address the people, so Abd al-Rahman said: Indeed the rabble of people have gathered, so delay that, and similar to it.

    قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَطُولَ بِالنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ مَا نَجِدُ الرَّجْمَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَيَضِلُّوا بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللهُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ الرَّجْمَ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَا إِذَا أُحْصِنَ وَكَانَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ أَوْ كَانَ الْحَبَلُ أَوِ الِاعْتِرَافُ وَقَدْ قَرَأْنَاهَا الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا أَلْبَتَّةَ وَقَدْ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ

    ✧ That people's time should pass until someone says, "We do not find stoning in the Book of Allah," and they stray by neglecting a duty that Allah has revealed. Verily, stoning is a punishment for those who commit adultery while being married, and evidence has been mentioned through a pregnancy, confession, or testimony. We have also read that if the sheikh and the sheikha commit adultery, then stone them to death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned, and we have stoned after him. Abu Abdulrahman said, "I do not know of anyone who mentioned the sheikh and the sheikha being stoned to death except for Sufyan, and it is likely that he was mistaken. And Allah knows best."

    إِنَّ اللهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ فَكَانَ فِيمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ فَقَرَأْنَاهَا وَوَعَيْنَاهَا وَرَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ وَأَخْشَى إِنْ طَالَ بِالنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ «مَا نَجِدُ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَيَتْرُكَ فَرِيضَةً أَنْزَلَهَا اللهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجْمَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَا إِذَا أُحْصِنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ إِذَا قَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةُ أَوْ كَانَ الْحَبَلُ أَوِ الِاعْتِرَافُ»

    ʿUmar said: Allah, may He be exalted, sent Muhammad ﷺ and sent down the Book to him. Among that which was revealed to him was the verse of stoning. We recited it and understood it. But I fear that with the passage of time, some people will say: We do not find the verse of stoning in the Book of Allah, and as a result an obligation that Allah revealed will be forsaken. Stoning is the due punishment in the Book of Allah for those who commit zina, both men and women, if they have been married and if proof is established, or there is a pregnancy or a confession.

    عُمَرُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ بَعَثَ يَعْنِي مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ فَكَانَ فِيمَا أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ قَرَأْنَاهَا وَوَعَيْنَاهَا وَعَقِلْنَاهَا وَرَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ فَأَخْشَى إِنْ طَالَ بِالنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ «وَاللهِ مَا نَجِدُ الرَّجْمَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَيَضِلُّوا بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللهُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجْمَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَا إِذَا أُحْصِنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ إِذَا قَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ أَوْ كَانَ الْحَبَلُ أَوْ الِاعْتِرَافُ»

    Verily Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with truth and He sent down the Book upon him, and the verse of stoning was included in what was sent down to him. We recited it, retained it in our memory and understood it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and, after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proof is established, or it there is pregnancy, or a confession. (Using translation from Muslim 1691a)

    ✧ Omar, I am staying the night if God wills. I am warning them against those people who oppress them in their affairs," said Abdulrahman. So I said, "Oh Amir al-Mu'minin, do not do that on this day. The season gathers the masses and their chaos. I fear that you might say something that they would take and fly off with, and not put it in its proper place. Wait until you enter the city, as it is the abode of migration, Sunnah, and faith. Purify yourself with the scholars and their leaders. Say what you want to say in a way that they understand it and put it in its proper place," said Omar. "If I enter the city safely, I will speak to the people there in the first gathering I establish, if God wills," he added. According to Ibn Abbas, when I arrived at the city, I migrated to Jumaa and found Sa'id ibn Zayd had already proceeded me in migration. He sat next to the pulpit and I sat next to him. Omar did not ascend the pulpit, so I ascended it and performed the prayer of witness and praised Allah for what He deserves. Then he said, "As for what follows, I will say something to you which I do not know if it will remain with you until my death. Whoever understands it and preserves it, let him speak it wherever his journey ends. And whoever fears that he will not understand it, then it is not allowed for anyone to accuse me of lying. Indeed, Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with the truth and revealed the book to him. In what was revealed to him was the verse of stoning, so we recited it and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried it out, and we carried it out after him. I fear that if a long time passes, someone might say, ‘We do not find the stoning in the book of Allah,’ and they will go astray by abandoning an obligation that Allah has revealed. Indeed, stoning is prescribed in the book of Allah for the one who committed adultery, if he is married, be it from the males or females, when clear evidence is established or if a confession is made."

    ✧ Ma'iz b. Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, purify me. He said: "Woe to you, go back and seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him." So he went back not far, then came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, purify me. He said: "Woe to you, go back and seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him." So he went back not far, then came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, purify me. The Prophet ﷺ said the same thing, until when it was the fourth time, the Prophet ﷺ said to him: "From what should I purify you?" He said: From adultery. The Prophet ﷺ asked him: "Is he insane?" He was informed that he was not insane. He asked: "Did you drink wine?" A man stood up and smelled his breath, but did not find the smell of wine on him. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Are you previously married?" He said: Yes. So he ordered him to be stoned, and he was stoned. The people were divided about him into two groups: some saying Ma'iz has perished by the worst of his deeds, his sin has enveloped him; and others saying: Is there any repentance better than the repentance of Ma'iz b. Malik, who came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed his hand in his hand and said: Kill me with stones. They remained like that for two or three days. Then the Prophet ﷺ came while they were sitting, greeted them, sat down, and said: "Seek forgiveness for Ma'iz b. Malik." They said: May Allah forgive Ma'iz b. Malik.

    ✧ Ma'iz came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I have committed adultery. He turned away from him until the fifth time, then he turned to him and said: "Did you have intercourse with her, so that it disappeared from you into her?" He said: Yes. He said: "As the kohl stick disappears into the kohl container, or as the rope disappears into the well?" He said: Yes. He said: "Do you know what adultery is?" He said: I did with her a forbidden act, as a man does with his wife lawfully. He said: "What do you want?" He said: I want you to purify me. So he ordered him to be stoned, and he was stoned. The Prophet ﷺ heard two men from his companions saying to each other: Look at this one whom Allah concealed, yet his soul did not let him be until he was stoned like a dog. And he mentioned a word whose meaning was: He saw the carcass of a donkey with its leg raised, and he said to so-and-so and so-and-so: "Come near and eat from the carcass of this donkey." They said: May Allah forgive you, can a carcass be eaten? He said: "What you have said about your brother is greater than that. By the One in whose hand is my soul, he is indeed in the rivers of Paradise, plunging into them."

    ✧ Abu Bakr said to him: 'Repent to Allah and conceal yourself with the concealment of Allah, for Allah accepts repentance from His servants.' Then he came to Umar and said to him the like of what he said to Abu Bakr, and Umar said to him what Abu Bakr had said. Then he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'The other one has committed adultery.' Sa'id said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him three times, each time turning away from him, until when he insisted much, he sent to his family and said: 'Is he ill? Does he have madness?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, he is healthy.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Is he a virgin or a married man?' He said: 'Rather a married man.'

    ✧ From Abu Hurayra and Zayd b. Khalid that they said: A man from the Bedouins came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: O Messenger of God, I adjure you, have you not judged for me by the Book of God? The other disputant, who was more learned than him, said: Yes, judge between us by the Book of God and permit me. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Speak.” He said: My son was a hired worker for this man, and he committed fornication with his wife. I was told that my son was to be stoned, so I ransomed him with a hundred sheep and a slave girl. I asked the people of knowledge, and they told me that my son was to receive a hundred lashes and exile for a year, and that stoning was upon this man’s wife. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “By the One in whose hand is my soul, I will judge between you by the Book of God. The slave girl and the sheep are returned, and upon your son is a hundred lashes and exile for a year. Go, O Unays, to this man’s wife, and if she confesses, stone her.” He went to her, she confessed, and the Messenger of God ﷺ ordered her to be stoned, and she was stoned.

She took hold of the bridle and said, “I adjure you by Allah to stone her.” He said, “Go and give birth.” So she went and gave birth to a boy. She brought him to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ spoke to him, then said, “Go and purify yourself from the blood.” She went and purified herself from the blood, then came back. The Prophet ﷺ sent for some women and ordered them to ascertain that she was free from menstrual blood and to see whether she had become pure from the blood. They came and testified before the Prophet ﷺ to her purity. The Prophet ﷺ ordered a pit to be dug for her up to her chest. Then he and the Muslims came forward. He gestured with his hand, took a pebble the size of a chickpea or like a chickpea, and threw it at her. Then he said to the Muslims, “Stone her, but avoid her face.” They stoned her until she died. He ordered that she be taken out, then he prayed over her and said, “If her reward were divided among the people of the Hijaz, it would suffice them.”

Perhaps you want to turn me away as you turned away Ma‘iz b. Malik. By Allah, I am pregnant.” The Prophet ﷺ said to her, “Go back until you give birth.” When she gave birth, she brought the child to him, carrying it in a rag, and said, “O Prophet of Allah, this one I have given birth to.” He said, “Go and nurse him until you wean him.” When she had weaned him, she came with the child, in his hand a piece of bread, and said, “O Prophet of Allah, this one I have weaned.” So he ordered the child to be given to a man among the Muslims, and he ordered concerning her that a pit be dug for her. She was placed in it up to her chest. Then he ordered the people to stone her. Khalid b. al-Walid came forward with a stone and threw it at her, and blood spattered on Khalid’s face or forehead. He cursed her, and the Prophet ﷺ heard him cursing her. He said, “Gently, O Khalid! Do not curse her, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, she has repented with such a repentance that if a tax collector repented with it, it would be accepted from him.” Then he ordered concerning her, and she was shrouded, and he prayed over her, and she was buried.

The man passed by a man called al-Nazzal and said, “Do you not see that I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, I have committed adultery,’ and he said to me, ‘Woe to you! Do you know what adultery is?’ I said, ‘Yes, a man has intercourse with a woman who is not lawful for him, just as he has intercourse with his wife.’ And he turned me away?” Al-Nazzal said to him, “Go back to him.” So he came to him and said, “O Prophet of Allah, I have committed adultery.” He said, “Woe to you! Do you know what adultery is?” He said, “Yes, a man has intercourse with a woman who is not lawful for him, just as he has intercourse with his wife.” He said to him, “Go away,” and turned him away. He came to al-Nazzal, who said to him, “Go back to him.” So he went back to him and said, “O Prophet of Allah, I have committed adultery.” He said, “Woe to you! Do you know what adultery is?” He said the same, and he turned him away. He came to al-Nazzal, who said to him, “Go back to him.” He went back to him a fourth time and said, “O Prophet of Allah, I have committed adultery.” He said, “Woe to you! Do you know what adultery is?” He said, “Yes, a man has intercourse with a woman who is not lawful for him, just as he has intercourse with his wife.” He said to him, “Did you insert and withdraw?” He said, “Yes.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “May you perish for the rest of the day!” Then he ordered that he be stoned and said, “Al-Nazzal has destroyed him,” three times. He was stoned, and he reached the base of a tree, lay down, and rested on his right side until he was killed. Two men from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ passed by him and said, “Look at this one who kept coming to the Prophet ﷺ and he kept turning him away, but he insisted on being killed like a dog.” The Prophet ﷺ heard them. He passed by a dead donkey with its leg raised and said, “O you two, come and eat.” They said, “O Prophet of Allah, would anyone eat from this?” He said, “What you said about your brother earlier is worse than this. By the One in whose hand is my soul, I have seen him immersed in the rivers of Paradise.” He said, meaning enjoying bliss.

    ✧ I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a man named Ma'iz ibn Malik came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery and I want you to purify me." The Prophet ﷺ told him to go back. The next day, he came to the Prophet ﷺ again and confessed to adultery. The Prophet ﷺ told him to go back. Then the Prophet ﷺ sent someone to ask the people about Ma'iz, saying, "What do you know about Ma'iz ibn Malik? Do you see him as a bad person or do you see any problem with his mind?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not see anything wrong with him and we do not see any problem with his mind." Then Ma'iz came to the Prophet ﷺ for the third time and confessed to adultery, asking the Prophet ﷺ to purify him. The Prophet ﷺ sent someone to ask the people about Ma'iz again, and they gave the same response as before. Then, he came to the Prophet ﷺ for the fourth time and confessed to adultery. The Prophet ﷺ ordered a pit to be dug for him, and he was buried up to his chest. Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered the people to stone him. Buraida said, "Among the Prophet's companions, we used to talk about Ma'iz and say that if he had sat in his house after the first confession and not gone seeking punishment, it would have been better for him. But he repeated his confession three times, and then he acted as if he wanted punishment."

Malik, from whichever of the men of Aslam I wished, those whom I do not suspect, and I did not know the exact wording of the hadith. So I went to Jabir b. ‘Abdullah and said, ‘The men of Aslam narrate to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them when they mentioned Ma‘iz’s distress at the stones when they hit him, “Why did you not leave him?” I do not suspect the people, but I do not know the hadith.’ He said, ‘O son of my brother, I am the most knowledgeable of people about this hadith. I was among those who stoned the man.

    The Jews brought to the Prophet ﷺ a man and a woman from among them who had committed illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, "How do you usually punish the one amongst you who has committed illegal sexual intercourse?" They replied, "We blacken their faces with coal and beat them," He said, "Don't you find the order of Ar-Rajm (i.e. stoning to death) in the Torah?" They replied, "We do not find anything in it." ʿAbdullah bin Salam (after hearing this conversation) said to them. "You have told a lie! Bring here the Torah and recite it if you are truthful." (So the Jews brought the Torah). And the religious teacher who was teaching it to them, put his hand over the Verse of Ar- Rajm and started reading what was written above and below the place hidden with his hand, but he did not read the Verse of Ar-Rajm. ʿAbdullah bin Salam removed his (i.e. the teacher's) hand from the Verse of Ar-Rajm and said, "What is this?" So when the Jews saw that Verse, they said, "This is the Verse of Ar-Rajm." So the Prophet ﷺ ordered the two adulterers to be stoned to death, and they were stoned to death near the place where biers used to be placed near the Mosque. I saw her companion (i.e. the adulterer) bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4556)

    ✧ A Jew who had been blackened and flogged passed by the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "Is this how you find the punishment for the adulterer in your Book?" They said, "Yes." He called a man from their scholars and said, "I adjure you by Allah, is this how you find the punishment for the adulterer in your Book?" He said, "No; and were it not that you asked me, I would not have told you the truth. We find it to be stoning, but it became frequent among our nobles. When we seized a noble, we let him go; and when we seized a weak person, we carried out the punishment on him. So we said, 'Come, let us agree on something we will enforce on both noble and lowly among us.' We agreed on blackening and flogging in place of stoning." Then Allah Most High revealed: {O Messenger, do not let those who hasten into disbelief grieve you} [al-Ma'idah 41] up to His saying {If you are given this, then take it} [al-Ma'idah 41]. They say, "Go to Muhammad; if he gives you a ruling of blackening and flogging, accept it; but if he gives you a ruling of stoning, beware." Up to His saying {And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then those are the disbelievers} [al-Ma'idah 44]. He said: This is about the Jews. Up to His saying {And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then those are the wrongdoers} [al-Ma'idah 45]. He said: This is about the Jews. Up to His saying {And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then those are the defiantly disobedient} [al-Ma'idah 47]. He said: These are all about the disbelievers. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, I am the first to revive Your command when they had killed it." Then he ordered that he be stoned.

Then he ordered concerning her, and she was shrouded, and then he prayed over her.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them: What do you find in the Torah about stoning? They replied: We disgrace them and they should be flogged. ‘Abd Allah b. 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. ‘Abd Allah b. 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.

That man was light-skinned, with little flesh, and lank hair, while the one whom he claimed he found with his wife was well-fleshed with much meat. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O Allah, make it clear.” Then she gave birth to a child resembling the man whom her husband mentioned he had found with her.
