English translation

4451. (There is another chain) that Abū Hurairah said: "A Jewish man and woman committed Zinā and they were married. That was when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to Al-Madinah. Stoning was prescribed for them in the Tawrah, but they abandoned it and replaced it with parading and giving one hundred lashes with a rope covered with tar, and seating (the adulterer) on a donkey facing backwards. Some of their rabbis gathered and they sent some other people to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and said: 'Ask him about the punishment for the adulterer.'" And he quoted the same Hadīth, and said therein: "He said: 'They were not followers of his religion for him to pass judgment between them. He was given the choice concerning that.'" He said: "So if they come to you, either judge between them, or turn away from them."[1] (Da'if)

Arabic text

4451 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبُو الْأَصْبَغِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: زَنَى رَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَقَدْ أُحْصِنَا، حِينَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ الرَّجْمُ مَكْتُوبًا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ، فَتَرَكُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا بِالتَّجْبِيهِ، يُضْرَبُ مِائَةً بِحَبْلٍ مَطْلِيٍّ بِقَارٍ، وَيُحْمَلُ عَلَى حِمَارٍ، وَجْهُهُ مِمَّا يَلِي دُبُرَ الْحِمَارِ، فَاجْتَمَعَ أَحْبَارٌ مِنْ أَحْبَارِهِمْ، فَبَعَثُوا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: سَلُوهُ عَنْ حَدِّ الزَّانِي، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ، فَقَالَ فِيهِ: قَالَ: «وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينِهِ، فَيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَخُيِّرَ فِي ذَلِكَ»، قَالَ: {فَإِنْ جَاءُوكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ}
