Volume 8, Book 82, Number 825:
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:
The jews came to Allah’s Apostle and mentioned to him that a man and a lady among them had
committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah’s Apostle said to them, “What do you find in the Torah re –
garding the Rajam?” They replied, “We only disgrace and flog them with stripes.” ‘Abdullah bin Salam
said to them, ‘You have told a lie the penalty of Rajam is in the Torah.’ They brought the Torah and
opened it. One of them put his hand over the verse of the Rajam and read what was before and after
it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him, “Lift up your hand.” Where he lifted it there appeared the verse of
the Rajam. So they said, “O Muhammad! He has said the truth, the verse of the Rajam is in it (Torah).”

Then Allah’s Apostle ordered that the two persons (guilty of illegal sexual intercourse) be stoned to
death, and so they were stoned, and I saw the man bending over the woman so as to protect her from
the stones.

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah’s Apostle. One of them said, “Judge us according to
Allah’s Laws.” The other who was more wise said, “Yes, Allah’s Apostle, judge us according to Allah’s
Laws and allow me to speak (first)” The Prophet said to him, ‘Speak ” He said, “My son was a laborer
for this man, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and the people told me that
my son should be stoned to death, but I have given one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom
(expiation) for my son’s sin. Then I asked the religious learned people (about It), and they told me
that my son should he flogged one-hundred stripes and should be exiled for one year, and only the
wife of this man should be stoned to death ” Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I
will judge you according to Allah’s Laws: O man, as for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be re –
turned to you.” Then the Prophet had the man’s son flogged one hundred stripes and exiled for one
year, and ordered Unais Al-Aslami to go to the wife of the other man, and if she confessed, stone her
to death. She confessed and was stoned to death.

punishable sin; please inflict the legal punishment on me’.’ The Prophet did not ask him what he had
done. Then the time for the prayer became due and the man offered prayer along with the Prophet ,
and when the Prophet had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I
have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allah’s
Laws.” The Prophet said, “Haven’t you prayed with us?’ He said, “Yes.” The Prophet said, “Allah has
forgiven your sin.” or said, “….your legally punishable sin.”

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
When Ma’iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (in order to confess), the Prophet said to him, “Probably

At that, (i.e. after his confession) the Prophet ordered that he be stoned (to death).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man from among the people, came to Allah’s Apostle while Allah’s Apostle was sitting in the
mosque, and addressed him, saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have committed an illegal sexual inter –
course.” The Prophet turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet
had turned his face, and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have committed an illegal intercourse.” The
Prophet turned his face to the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he confessed four
times, the Prophet called him and said, “Are you mad?” He said, “No, O Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet
said, “Are you married?” He said, “Yes, O Allah’s Apostle.” The Prophet said (to the people), “Take him
away and stone him to death.” Ibn Shihab added, “I was told by one who heard Jabir, that Jabir said, ‘I
was among those who stoned the man, and we stoned him at the Musalla (‘Id praying Place), and
when the stones troubled him, he jumped quickly and ran away, but we overtook him at Al-Harra
and stoned him to death (there).’ ”

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 815:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
While we were with the Prophet , a man stood up and said (to the Prophet ), “I beseech you by Al –
lah, that you should judge us according to Allah’s Laws.” Then the man’s opponent who was wiser
than him, got up saying (to Allah’s Apostle) “Judge us according to Allah’s Law and kindly allow me
(to speak).” The Prophet said, “‘Speak.” He said, “My son was a laborer working for this man and he
committed an illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a
ransom for my son’s sin. Then I asked a learned man about this case and he informed me that my son
should receive one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year, and the man’s wife should be stoned to
death.” The Prophet said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to the Laws
of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep and the slave are to be returned to you, and your son has to re –
ceive one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O Unais! Go to the wife of this man, and if she
confesses, then stone her to death.” Unais went to her and she confessed. He then stoned her to death.
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 816:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the
Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by
leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on
him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by wit –
nesses or pregnancy or confession.” Sufyan added, “I have memorized this narration in this way.”
‘Umar added, “Surely Allah’s Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.”
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 806:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle while he was in the mosque, and he called him, saying, “O Allah’s
Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse.'” The Prophet turned his face to the other side,
but that man repeated his statement four times, and after he bore witness against himself four times,
the Prophet called him, saying, “Are you mad?” The man said, “No.” The Prophet said, “Are you mar –
ried?” The man said, “Yes.” Then the Prophet said, ‘Take him away and stone him to death.” Jabir bin
‘Abdullah said: I was among the ones who participated in stoning him and we stoned him at the
Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but we over took him at Al-Harra and stoned him to
death.
