[4437] 26 - (1699) ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Umar narrated that a Jewish man and Jewish woman who had committed Zinâ were brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went to the Jews and said: “What do you find in the Tawrât (Torah) about the one who commits Zinâ?" They said: "We make them sit backwards (on mounts) and parade them around." He said: "Bring the Tawrât (Torah) if you are telling the truth." They brought it and read it, and when they reached the Verse of stoning, the person who was reading placed his hand over the Verse of stoning and read that which came before it and that which came after it. 'Abdullâh bin Salâm - who was with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ - said to him: "Tell him to lift his hand," so he lifted it, and there beneath it was the Verse of stoning. So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ordered that they be stoned." "'Abdullâh bin 'Umar said: 'I was among those who stoned them, and I saw him shielding her from the stones with his body.'"
