English translation

4446. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: “The Jews came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him that a man and woman among them had committed Zinā. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to them: 'What do you find in the Tawrah about Zinā?' They said: 'We shame them and flog them.' Abdullah bin Salām said: 'You are lying. It mentions stoning therein.' They brought the Tawrah and spread it out, and one of them placed his hand over the Verse of stoning, then he started to read what came before it and after it. 'Abdullah bin Salām said to him: 'Lift up your hand.' So he lifted it up and there was the Verse of stoning. They said: 'He has spoken the truth, O Muḥammad. In it is the Verse of stoning.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered that they be stoned. 'Abdullah bin Umar said: 'I saw the man leaning over the woman to protect her from the stones.'" (Sahih)

4446 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مِالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ جَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ وَامْرَأَةً زَنَيَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فِي شَأْنِ الزِّنَا؟» فَقَالُوا: نَفْضَحُهُمْ وَيُجْلَدُونَ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: كَذَبْتُمْ، إِنَّ فِيهَا الرَّجْمَ، فَأَتَوْا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ، فَنَشَرُوهَا فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَدَهُ عَلَى آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ مَا قَبْلَهَا وَمَا بَعْدَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ، فَرَفَعَهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ، فَقَالُوا: صَدَقَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ،، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُجِمَا، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: فَرَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يَحْنِي عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ يَقِيهَا الْحِجَارَةَ
