6829. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: 'Umar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, 'We do not find the Verses of the Rajm (stoning to death) in Allāh's Book (the Qur'an)', and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allāh has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajm be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses, or pregnancy, or confessions.” Sufyān added, “I have memorized this narration in this way.” ‘Umar added, “Surely Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ carried out the penalty of Rajm, and so did we after him.”

6829 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَطُولَ بِالنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ: لاَ نَجِدُ الرَّجْمَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَيَضِلُّوا بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ الرَّجْمَ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَى وَقَدْ أَحْصَنَ، إِذَا قَامَتِ البَيِّنَةُ، أَوْ كَانَ الحَبَلُ أَوِ الِاعْتِرَافُ - قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: كَذَا حَفِظْتُ - أَلاَ وَقَدْ «رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ»
