English translation

2666. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that a Jew killed a girl for her jewelry. He asked her (as she was dying): "Did so-and-so kill you?" and she gestured with her head to say no. Then he asked her again, and she gestured with her head to say no. He asked her a third time and she gestured with her head to say yes. So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ killed him (by crushing his head) between two rocks. (Sahih)

Arabic text

2666 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا قَتَلَ جَارِيَةً عَلَى أَوْضَاحٍ لَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «أَقَتَلَكِ فُلَانٌ؟» فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا: أَنْ لَا، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ، فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا: أَنْ لَا، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ، فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا: أَنْ نَعَمْ، فَقَتَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ

Commentary

Killing between two rocks means putting the head on one rock and hitting it with another rock, by which she was severely wounded and died. The killer should be killed in the same way as he killed.
