2562 - حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ قَالَ: «ارْجُمُوا الْأَعْلَى وَالْأَسْفَلَ، ارْجُمُوهُمَا جَمِيعًا»

Commentary
Sodomy is one of the most immoral actions and a mortal sin. Its punishment is more severe than the punishment of illegal sexual intercourse. Mostly people call male to male sexual action Liwâṭ, in Arabic, which is totally wrong, because this word is derived from the name of a pious Prophet Lut, he used to warn his people from this mortal sin. He forbade and threatened his people with severe punishment but his people refused to listen to him. In the Sunnah this act is called 'the act of the people of Lut.' The punishment of this crime is death whether committed by married or unmarried persons.
