Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, sent Muhammad ﷺ with the truth, and He sent down with him the Book. One of the things that were revealed to him was the verse of stoning. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned [adulterers] and we stoned [them] after him. Then he said: We used to recite, ʿDo not forsake your real father (and attribute yourself to someone else), for this is an act of kufr, if you do that, or it is an act of kufr to forsake your real father (and attribute yourself to someone else).ʿ And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿDo not praise me as the son of Maryam was praised; rather I am a slave, so say: His slave and His Messenger.ʿ Perhaps Maʿmar said: ʿAs the Christians praised the son of Maryam.”  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْزَلَ مَعَهُ الْكِتَابَ فَكَانَ مِمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ فَرَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ وَلا تَرْغَبُوا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ كُفْرٌ بِكُمْ أَوْ إِنَّ كُفْرًا بِكُمْ أَنْ تَرْغَبُوا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُطْرُونِي كَمَا أُطْرِيَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا عَبْدٌ فَقُولُوا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ كَمَا أَطْرَتِ النَّصَارَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ
