حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ، أَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِرَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ زَنَيَا، فَقَالَ: " مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ؟ " فَقَالُوا: نُسَخِّمُ وُجُوهَهُمَا، وَيُخْزَيَانِ فَقَالَ: " كَذَبْتُمْ إِنَّ فِيهَا الرَّجْمَ (١) فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ، فَاتْلُوهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ "، فَجَاءُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ، وَجَاءُوا بِقَارِئٍ لَهُمْ أَعْوَرَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: ابْنُ صُورِيَا، فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَى (٢) إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ مِنْهَا وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: ارْفَعْ يَدَكَ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ، فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلُوحُ، ، فَقَالَ، أَوْ قَالُوا: (١) يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ فِيهَا الرَّجْمَ، وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا نَتَكَاتَمُهُ بَيْنَنَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرُجِمَا، قَالَ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يُجَانِئُ عَلَيْهَا يَقِيهَا الْحِجَارَةَ بِنَفْسِهِ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once some Jews brought a man and a woman from among themselves who had committed adultery, and they presented them before the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "What punishment is prescribed in your book (the Torah) for this?" They said: "We blacken their faces and disgrace them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You are lying. In the Torah, the punishment for this is stoning. Bring the Torah and recite it to me if you are truthful." So they brought the Torah and also brought along a blind reciter whose name was Ibn Suriya. He began to read the Torah, and when he reached the verse of stoning, he placed his hand over it. When he was asked to remove his hand, and he did so, the verse of stoning was shining there. Seeing this, the Jews themselves said, "O Muhammad! In it is the command of stoning; we ourselves used to conceal it among ourselves." In any case, by the order of the Prophet (ﷺ), both of them were stoned. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that he saw that Jew bending over the woman to shield her from the stones.
