English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي

A Jew and Jewess were brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) on a charge of committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the Jews, "What do you (usually) do with them?" They said, "We blacken their faces and disgrace them." He said, "Bring here the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful." They (fetched it and) came and asked a one-eyed man to recite. He went on reciting till he reached a portion on which he put his hand. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Lift up your hand!" He lifted his hand up and behold, there appeared the verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning of the adulterers to death). Then he said, "O Muhammad! They should be stoned to death but we conceal this Divine Law among ourselves." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that the two sinners be stoned to death and, and they were stoned to death, and I saw the man protecting the woman from the stones. (See Hadith No. 809, Vol. 8)

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : "

أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَدْ زَنَيَا ، فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِ : مَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِهِمَا ؟ ، قَالُوا : نُسَخِّمُ وُجُوهَهُمَا وَنُخْزِيهِمَا ، قَالَ : فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ سورة آل عمران آية 93 فَجَاءُوا ، فَقَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِمَّنْ يَرْضَوْنَ : يَا أَعْوَرُ اقْرَأْ ، فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ مِنْهَا ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : ارْفَعْ يَدَكَ ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ تَلُوحُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ عَلَيْهِمَا الرَّجْمَ وَلَكِنَّا نُكَاتِمُهُ بَيْنَنَا ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا فَرُجِمَا فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُجَانِئُ عَلَيْهَا الْحِجَارَةَ
