حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَجَمَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ وَرَجَمْتُ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي أَکْرَهُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ لَکَتَبْتُهُ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَجِيئَ أَقْوَامٌ فَلَا يَجِدُونَهُ فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَيَکْفُرُونَ بِهِ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی حَدِيثُ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1432
Umar bin Al-Khattab said: Verily Allah sent Muhammad (ﷺ) with the truth, and he revealed the Book to him. Among what was revealed to him was the Ayah of stoning. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stoned, and we stoned after him. I fear that time will pass over the people such that someone will say 'We do not see stoning in the Book of Allah.' They will be misguided by leaving an obligation which Allah revealed. Indeed stoning is the retribution for the adulterer if he was married and the evidence has been established, or due to pregnancy, or confession.
