A girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. She was asked: Who has done this to you ? Is it so and so ? Is it so and so, until a Jew was named, and she gave a sign with her head. The Jew was caught ad he admitted. So the Prophet ﷺ gave command that his head should be crushed with stones. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4527)   

أحمد:١٣٨٤٠حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ أَنَّ أَنَسًا

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً وُجِدَ رَأْسُهَا بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ فَقِيلَ لَهَا مَنْ فَعَلَ بِكِ هَذَا؟ أَفُلَانٌ؟ أَفُلَانٌ؟ حَتَّى سَمَّوْا الْيَهُودِيَّ فَأَوْمَأَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا قَالَ فَأُخِذَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَجِيءَ بِهِ فَاعْتَرَفَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرُضَّ رَأْسُهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ
