English narration

Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري

Jabir bin Abdullah said: The Jews brought a man and a woman of them who had committed fornication. He said: Bring me two learned men or yours. So they brought the two sons of Suriya. He adjured them and said: How do you think about the matter if these two persons bear witness to the effect that they have seen his sexual organ in her female organ (penetrated) like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case, they will be stoned to death. He asked: What is there which prevents you from stoning them: They replied: Our rule has gone, so we disapproved of killing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called four witnesses. They brought four witnesses. Who testified that they had seen his sexual organ (penetrated) in her female organ like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case. The Prophet ﷺ then gave orders for stoning them.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَلْخِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، قَالَ : مُجَالِدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : "

جَاءَتْ الْيَهُودُ بِرَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ زَنَيَا ، فَقَالَ : ائْتُونِي بِأَعْلَمِ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْكُمْ فَأَتَوْهُ بِابْنَيْ صُورِيَا ، فَنَشَدَهُمَا : كَيْفَ تَجِدَانِ أَمْرَ هَذَيْنِ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ ؟ قَالَا : نَجِدُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَرْبَعَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا ذَكَرَهُ فِي فَرْجِهَا مِثْلَ الْمِيلِ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ رُجِمَا ، قَالَ : فَمَا يَمْنَعُكُمَا أَنْ تَرْجُمُوهُمَا ، قَالَا : ذَهَبَ سُلْطَانُنَا فَكَرِهْنَا الْقَتْلَ ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالشُّهُودِ ، فَجَاءُوا بِأَرْبَعَةٍ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا ذَكَرَهُ فِي فَرْجِهَا مِثْلَ الْمِيلِ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجْمِهِمَا
