Sahih Muslim Book - 29, Hadith - 4437

حَدَّثَنِى الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أُتِىَ بِيَهُودِىٍّ وَيَهُودِيَّةٍ قَدْ زَنَيَا فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَتَّى جَاءَ يَهُودَ فَقَالَ « مَا تَجِدُونَ فِى التَّوْرَاةِ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَى ». قَالُوا نُسَوِّدُ وُجُوهَهُمَا وَنُحَمِّلُهُمَا وَنُخَالِفُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِهِمَا وَيُطَافُ بِهِمَا. قَالَ « فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ». فَجَاءُوا بِهَا فَقَرَءُوهَا حَتَّى إِذَا مَرُّوا بِآيَةِ الرَّجْمِ وَضَعَ الْفَتَى الَّذِى يَقْرَأُ يَدَهُ عَلَى آيَةِ الرَّجْمِ وَقَرَأَ مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَمَا وَرَاءَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ وَهْوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مُرْهُ فَلْيَرْفَعْ يَدَهُ فَرَفَعَهَا فَإِذَا تَحْتَهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَرُجِمَا. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُمَا فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَقِيهَا مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ بِنَفْسِهِ.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar narrated that a Jewish man and Jewish woman who had committed Zina were brought to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went to the Jews and said: "What do you find in the Tawrat (Torah) about the one who commits Zina?" They said: "We make them sit backwards (on mounts) and parade them around." He said: "Bring the Tawrat (Torah) if you are telling the truth." They brought it and read it, and when they reached the Verse of stoning, the person who was reading placed his hand over the Verse of stoning and read that which came before it and that which came after it. 'Abdullah bin Salam - who was with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) - said to him: "Tell him to lift- his hand" so he lifted it, and there beneath it was the Verse of stoning. So the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered that they be stoned." - "'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: 'I was among those who stoned them, and I saw him shielding her from the stones with his body."'
