Volume 8, Book 82, Number 813:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
When Ma’iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (in order to confess), the Prophet said to him, “Probably
you have only kissed (the lady), or winked, or looked at her?” He said, “No, O Allah’s Apostle!” The
Prophet said, using no euphemism, “Did you have sexual intercourse with her?” The narrator added:
At that, (i.e. after his confession) the Prophet ordered that he be stoned (to death).
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 814:
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 801:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The one who commits an illegal sexual intercourse is not a believer at the time
of committing illegal sexual intercourse and a thief is not a believer at the time of committing theft
and a drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer at the time of drinking. Yet, (the gate of) repentance
is open thereafter.”
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 802:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Which is the biggest sin?” He said, “To set up rivals to Allah by worship –
ping others though He alone has created you.” I asked, “What is next?” He said, “To kill your child lest
it should share your food.” I asked, “What is next?” He said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse
with the wife of your neighbor.”
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 803:
Narrated Ash-Sha’bi:
from ‘Ali when the latter stoned a lady to death on a Friday. ‘Ali said, “I have stoned her according
to the tradition of Allah’s Apostle.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 82: PUNISHMENT OF DISBELIEVERS AT WAR WITH ALLAH AND HIS APOSTLE
I asked ‘Abdullah bin Abi Aufa, ‘Did Allah’s Apostle carry out the Rajam penalty ( i.e., stoning to
death)?’ He said, “Yes.” I said, “Before the revelation of Surat-ar-Nur or after it?” He replied, “I don’t
Know.”
