6819. Narrated Ibn 'Umar: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: A Jew and a Jewess were brought to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on a charge of committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet ﷺ asked them, "What is the legal punishment (for this sin) in your Book (the Torah)?" They replied, "Our priests have innovated the punishment of blackening the faces with charcoal and Tajbiya."(1) Abdullāh bin Salām said, "O Allāh's Messenger, tell them to bring the Taurāt (Torah)." The Taurāt was brought, and then one of the Jews put his hand over the verse of the Rajm (stoning to death) and started reading what preceded and what followed it. On that, Ibn Salām said to the Jew, "Lift up your hand." Behold! The verse of the Rajm was under his hand. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered that the two (sinners) be stoned to death, and so they were stoned. Ibn 'Umar added: Both of them were stoned at the Balāt and I saw the Jew sheltering the Jewess.
