رَجْمِ الْيَهُودِ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ فِي الزِّنَا

حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِيَهُودِيٍّ وَيَهُودِيَّةٍ قَدْ زَنَيَا، فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى جَاءَ يَهُودَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَى؟» قَالُوا: نُسَوِّدُ وُجُوهَهُمَا، وَنُحَمِّلُهُمَا، وَنُخَالِفُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِهِمَا، وَيُطَافُ بِهِمَا، قَالَ: «فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ»، فَجَاءُوا بِهَا فَقَرَءُوهَا حَتَّى إِذَا مَرُّوا بِآيَةِ الرَّجْمِ وَضَعَ الْفَتَى الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ يَدَهُ عَلَى آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ، وَقَرَأَ مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا، وَمَا وَرَاءَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: وَهُوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْهُ فَلْيَرْفَعْ يَدَهُ، فَرَفَعَهَا فَإِذَا تَحْتَهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرُجِمَا، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُمَا، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَقِيهَا مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ بِنَفْسِهِ.

Stoning Jews and Ahl Adh-Dhimmah for Zina

A Jew and a Jewess were brought to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) who had committed adultery. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to the Jews and said: What do you find in Torah for one who commits adultery? They said: We darken their faces and make them ride on the donkey with their faces turned to the opposite direction (and their backs touching each other), and then they are taken round (the city). He said: Bring Torah if you are truthful. They brought it and recited it until when they came to the verse pertaining to stoning, the person who was reading placed his hand on the verse pertaining to stoning, and read (only that which was) between his hands and what was subsequent to that. Abdullah bin Salim رضی اللہ عنہ who was at that time with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Command him (the reciter) to lift his hand. He lifted it and there was, underneath that, the verse pertaining to stoning. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) pronounced judgment about both of them and they were stoned. Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: I was one of those who stoned them, and I saw him (the Jew) protecting her (the Jewess) with his body.
