English translation

4452. It was narrated that Jābir bin 'Abdullāh said: "The Jews brought a man and a woman from among them who had committed Zinā, and he ﷺ said: 'Bring me the two most knowledgeable men among you.' They brought the two sons of Šūriyā, and he ﷺ adjured them (by Allāh), asking; 'What do you find concerning the case of these two in the Tawrah?' They said: 'We find in the Tawrah that if four people testify that they saw his penis in her vagina, like the kohl stick in its container, they are to be stoned.' He said: 'What is keeping you from stoning them?' They said: 'We have lost our power and we dislike killing.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called for witnesses, and they brought four people who bore witness that they had seen his penis in her vagina like the kohl stick in its container, so the Prophet ﷺ ordered that they be stoned.” (Da'if)

4452 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَلْخِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ مُجَالِدٌ: أَخْبَرَنَا، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ الْيَهُودُ بِرَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ زَنَيَا، فَقَالَ: «ائْتُونِي بِأَعْلَمِ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْكُمْ»، فَأَتَوْهُ بِابْنَيْ صُورِيَا، فَنَشَدَهُمَا: «كَيْفَ تَجِدَانِ أَمْرَ هَذَيْنِ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ؟» قَالَا: نَجِدُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَرْبَعَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا ذَكَرَهُ فِي فَرْجِهَا مِثْلَ الْمِيلِ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ رُجِمَا، قَالَ: «فَمَا يَمْنَعُكُمَا أَنْ تَرْجُمُوهُمَا؟» قَالَا: ذَهَبَ سُلْطَانُنَا، فَكَرِهْنَا الْقَتْلَ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالشُّهُودِ، فَجَاءُوا بِأَرْبَعَةٍ، فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا ذَكَرَهُ فِي فَرْجِهَا مِثْلَ الْمِيلِ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجْمِهِمَا
