[Machine] Indeed, I have seen her and she is as beautiful as Surah Al-Baqarah. And surely, in her is the sheikh and the sheikha, if they commit adultery, then stone them immediately, as a punishment from Allah. And Allah is Mighty and Wise.  

البيهقي:١٦٩١١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ النَّضْرَوِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ ابْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ ؓ كَأَيِّنْ تَعُدُّ أَوْ كَأَيِّنْ تَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ؟ قُلْتُ ثَلَاثًا وَسَبْعِينَ آيَةً قَالَ

أَقَطُّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَإِنَّ فِيهَا الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

[Machine] "Cat, I have indeed seen her and she is equivalent to the length of Surah Al-Baqarah. We have also read in it (the Quran) that the Sheikh and the Sheikha, if they commit adultery, stone them immediately as a punishment from Allah. And Allah is Almighty, Wise."  

أحمد:٢١٢٠٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ كَأَيِّنْ تَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ؟ أَوْ كَأَيِّنْ تَعُدُّهَا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَسَبْعِينَ آيَةً فَقَالَ

قَطُّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَادِلُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَلَقَدْ قَرَأْنَا فِيهَا الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ  

hakim:8068Aḥmad b. Kāmil al-Qāḍī

Ubay b. Kaʿb told me while he was reciting Sūrat al-Aḥzāb and said, "I said ˹it was˺ seventy three Āyāt ˹long˺." He said, "Exactly." I said, "Exactly." He said, "I saw it and it was definitely ˹similar in size˺ to al-Baqarah, and we use to recite in it what we recited in it. It had 'The ˹married˺ man and the, if they commit adultery, then absolutely stone them as a deterrent from Allah; for Allah is Mighty and Wise'.  

This ḥadith has a sound chain but they did not collect it. al-Dhahabī was silent on this in his al-Talkhīṣ.
الحاكم:٨٠٦٨حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْقَاضِي؛ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْعَوْفِيُّ؛ ثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ؛ ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ؛ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْقَاضِي؛ ثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ؛ ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَاصِمٍ؛ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ

لِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ ثَلَاثًا وَسَبْعِينَ آيَةً قَالَ «قَطُّ» قُلْتُ قَطُّ۔ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ الْبَقَرَةَ، وَلَقَدْ قَرَأْنَا فِيمَا قَرَأْنَا فِيهَا {الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ}

[Machine] Ubayy said, "She used to recite Surah Al-Baqarah and it was the longest. And indeed, it contained the verse of stoning." The sheikh and the sheikha stoned them both as a punishment from Allah. And Allah is powerful and wise.

أُبَيٌّ «كَانَتْ لَتَعْدِلُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَأَطْوَلَ وَلَقَدْ كَانَ فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ» الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ فَارْجُمُوهُمَا أَلْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
