1432. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "Verily Allāh sent Muḥammad ﷺ with the truth, and he revealed the Book to him. Among what was revealed to him was the Āyah of stoning. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stoned, and we stoned after him. I fear that time will pass over the people such that someone will say 'We do not see stoning in the Book of Allāh.' They will be misguided by leaving an obligation which Allāh revealed. Indeed stoning is the retribution for the adulterer if he was married and the evidence has been established, or due to pregnancy, or confession." (Saḥīh)
[There is something on this topic from 'Ali. Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Saḥīh. [ It has been reported through more than one route from 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb.]

Commentary
Pregnancy will be deemed a proof of fornication if the woman is unmarried or her husband blames her. Though the recitation of this Verse is abrogated but its continuity is not essential for the implication. the presence of a Verse in the Qur'an is considered a proof of its validity and continuity, therefore, rejecting a Saḥīh narration by declaring it information without any proof is not logical thinking.
