حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ
لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَطُولَ بِالنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ مَا أَجِدُ الرَّجْمَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَيَضِلُّوا بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللَّهِ أَلاَ وَإِنَّ الرَّجْمَ حَقٌّ إِذَا أُحْصِنَ الرَّجُلُ وَقَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ أَوْ كَانَ حَمْلٌ أَوِ اعْتِرَافٌ وَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ

“I fear that after a long time has passed, some will say: 'I do not find (the sentence of) stoning in the Book of Allah ﷺ,' and they will go astray by abandoning one of the obligations enjoined by Allah (SWT). Rather stoning is a must if a man is married (or previously married) and proof is established, or if pregnancy results or if he admits it. I have read it (in the Quran). “And if an old man and an old woman commit adultery, stone them both.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned (adulterers) and we stoned (them) after him.' ”

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.
