حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ قَالَ: كَانَ سَعِيدُ (١) بْنُ الْعَاصِ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يَكْتُبَانِ الْمَصَاحِفَ، فَمَرُّوا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ، فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ "، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ (٢) أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: أَكْتِبْنِيهَا، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ:، فَكَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ الشَّيْخَ إِذَا لَمْ يُحْصَنْ جُلِدَ، وَأَنَّ الشَّابَّ إِذَا زَنَى وَقَدْ أُحْصِنَ، ، رُجِمَ (١)، ، .................................، ،

Ibn ‘As (may Allah be pleased with him) and Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) were assigned to write the Qur’anic manuscripts. While writing, when they reached this verse, Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) recite this verse: "When any married man or woman commits adultery, then in any case, stone them." Upon this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when this verse was revealed, I was present before the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and requested that this verse be written for me (but the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, did not consider it appropriate). Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) further said that in the words of this verse, see the word "Shaikh"; if any Shaikh (elderly man) is not married, then he is to be flogged, and if any young man, after being married, commits adultery, then he is to be stoned.
