حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ، جَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ زَنَيَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا فَرُجِمَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ حَيْثُ تُوضَعُ الْجَنَائِزُ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ

The Jews brought a man and a woman who had committed illegal sexual intercourse, to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered them to be stoned to death, and they were stoned to death near the mosque where the biers used to be placed.

ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, ইয়াহূদীগণ নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর নিকট এক ব্যভিচারী পুরুষ এবং এক ব্যভিচারিণী নারীকে নিয়ে আসল। তখন তিনি তাদের দু’জনকে শাস্তি দেয়ার নির্দেশ দিলে মসজিদে নাবাবীর নিকট জানাযা রাখার স্থানে তাদেরকে পাথর নিক্ষেপে মারা হয়। [১৩২৯]

ہم سے ابراہیم بن المنذر نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ابوضمرہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے موسیٰ بن عقبہ نے، ان سے نافع نے اور ان سے ابن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس یہودی ایک مرد اور ایک عورت کو لے کر آئے جنہوں نے زنا کیا تھا تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان کے لیے رجم کا حکم دیا اور انہیں مسجد کی ایک جگہ کے قریب رجم کیا گیا جہاں جنازے رکھے جاتے ہیں۔

İbn Ömer şöyle demiştir: Yahudiler Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in yanına -evli oldukları halde- birbiriyle zina etmiş bir erkekle kadın getirdiler. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem onların recm edilmelerini emretti de onlar mescidin yanında cenazelerin konulduğu yerin yakınında recm edildiler

What it means

When a man and a woman from among the Jews committed adultery during the Prophet's time, the Jews came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) seeking his judgment in the hope that they would get something lighter than the punishment of adultery in the Torah, which is stoning. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked them about Allah's judgment in the Torah, only to expose them, not to act upon it.

They lied to him, saying that the judgment was to expose the adulterers. On hearing that, ‘Abdullāh ibn Salām (may Allah be pleased with him) said that they were lying. When they checked the Torah, they found the ruling of adultery, which is stoning the married adulterer. Hence, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the punishment to be inflicted on the adulterers. Our Islamic law is dominant over any other law and abrogates it.

In this Hadīth, however, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked them about the ruling of the Torah on stoning the adulterer in order to establish the argument against them through their own book, which they claimed that it did not include the ruling of stoning the married adulterer. Furthermore, he aimed thereby to show them that all the books of Allah are in agreement on that eternal ruling which involves deterrence to the sinners.
