حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مِالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ جَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ وَامْرَأَةً زَنَيَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فِي شَأْنِ الزِّنَا ؟ فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ نَفْضَحُهُمْ وَيُجْلَدُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَبْتُمْ إِنَّ فِيهَا الرَّجْمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَوْا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَنَشَرُوهَا فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَدَهُ عَلَى آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ مَا قَبْلَهَا وَمَا بَعْدَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ:‏‏‏‏ ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَفَعَهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ صَدَقَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُجِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يَحْنِي عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ يَقِيهَا الْحِجَارَةَ .

some jews came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned to him that a man and a women of their number had committed fornication. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked them: What do you find in the Torah about stoning? They replied: We disgrace them and they should be flogged. Abdullah bin Salam رضی اللہ عنہ said: You lie; it contains (instruction for) stoning. So they brought the Torah and spread it out, and one of them put his hand over the verse of stoning and read what preceded it and what followed it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him: Lift your hand. When he did so, the verse of stoning was seen to be in it. They then said: He has spoken the truth, Muhammad, the verse of stoning is in it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then gave command regarding them, and they were stoned to death. Abdullah bin Umar said: I saw the man leaning on the woman protecting her from the stones.
