ahmad:197Hushaym > al-Zuhrī > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUtbah b. Masʿūd > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbbās > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿAwfʾan ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb Khaṭab al-Nās Fasamiʿah

Some people say: what is this stoning? ín the Book of Allah it mentions flogging.But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned [adulterers] and we stoned [them] after him. Were it not that some people would say that 'Umar added something to the Book of Allah that is not part of it, I would have written it the way it was revealed.  

أحمد:١٩٧حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ

عَوْفٍأَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَسَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ أَلا وَإِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَقُولُونَ مَا بَالُ الرَّجْمِ؟ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ الْجَلْدُ! وَقَدْ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ وَلَوْلا أَنْ يَقُولَ قَائِلُونَ أَوْ يَتَكَلَّمَ مُتَكَلِّمُونَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ زَادَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا لَيْسَ مِنْهُ لَأَثْبَتُّهَا كَمَا نُزِّلَتْ

ʿUmar bin al-Khattab ؓ did Haji and wanted to deliver a speech to the people. ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf said: The uneducated people are gathered around you, so delay it until you come to Madinah. When he came to Madinah, I got close to him when he was on the minbar and I heard him saying. Some people are saying, Why should we stone [adulterers]? In the book of Allah it only mentions flogging But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned adulterers] and we stoned [them] after him. Were it not that people would say, You have inserted something into the Book of Allah that is not part of it, I would have inserted it as it was revealed.

عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ إِنَّهُ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَكَ رَعَاعُ النَّاسِ فَأَخِّرْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّىتَأْتِيَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَإِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ مَا بَالُ الرَّجْمِ وَإِنَّمَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ الْجَلْدُ؟ وَقَدْ رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ وَلَوْلا أَنْ يَقُولُوا أَثْبَتَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ لَأَثْبَتُّهَا كَمَا أُنْزِلَتْ
