١٤٣٦ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجَمَ يَهُودِيًّا» وَيَهُودِيَّةً وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary
This narration is agreed upon and the events mentioned are in Sahīh Al-Bukhārī and Sahīh Muslim. A Jewish couple was brought to the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. They had committed illegal sexual intercourse. The Messenger of Allāh went to their quarter and asked them, "What do you find in the Torah as regarding the legal punishment of an adulterer?" They replied, "We blacken their face and humiliate them. We also announce their crime in public and lash them." The Prophet said, "Bring the Torah and prove your statement if you are truthful." They brought and opened the Torah and started reading it, when the reader reached the verse of Rajm-stoning, he placed his hand over this verse, and read the verses preceding and following it. ‘Abdullāh bin Salām was beside the Prophet ﷺ, he asked the reader to lift his hand from the page, and he moved away his hand and the verse of stoning was written there. The Prophet gave the order that both of them should be stoned to death. (Sahīh Muslim v. 2. p. 69.)
