A man from Bani Aslam came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque and called (the Prophet ﷺ ) saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." On that the Prophet ﷺ turned his face from him to the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet ﷺ had turned his face, and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet ﷺ had turned his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet ﷺ turned his face (from him) to the other side again. The man moved again (and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So when the man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet ﷺ called him and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin ʿAbdullah Al-Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at the Musalla (ʿId praying place) in Medina. When the stones hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but we caught him at Al-Harra and stoned him till he died.  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَادَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الأَخِرَ قَدْ زَنَى يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَتَنَحَّى لِشِقِّ وَجْهِهِ الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ قِبَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الأَخِرَ قَدْ زَنَى فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَتَنَحَّى لِشِقِّ وَجْهِهِ الَّذِي أَعْرَضَ قِبَلَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَتَنَحَّى لَهُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ بِكَ جُنُونٌ قَالَ لاَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ وَكَانَ قَدْ أُحْصِنَ وَعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيَّ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُ فَرَجَمْنَاهُ بِالْمُصَلَّى بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ جَمَزَ حَتَّى أَدْرَكْنَاهُ بِالْحَرَّةِ فَرَجَمْنَاهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ  

A man came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque, and he called him, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse.'" The Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side, but that man repeated his statement four times, and after he bore witness against himself four times, the Prophet ﷺ called him, saying, "Are you mad?" The man said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you married?" The man said, "Yes." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Take him away and stone him to death." Jabir bin ʿAbdullah said: I was among the ones who participated in stoning him and we stoned him at the Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but we over took him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death.  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَادَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى رَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ دَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ أَحْصَنْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُ فَرَجَمْنَاهُ بِالْمُصَلَّى فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ هَرَبَ فَأَدْرَكْنَاهُ بِالْحَرَّةِ فَرَجَمْنَاهُ  

A man from among the people, came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque, and addressed him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed an illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face away from him. The man came to that side to which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed an illegal intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side, and the man came to that side, and when he confessed four times, the Prophet ﷺ called him and said, "Are you mad?" He said, "No, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Prophet said, "Are you married?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Prophet ﷺ said (to the people), "Take him away and stone him to death." Ibn Shihab added, "I was told by one who heard Jabir, that Jabir said, 'I was among those who stoned the man, and we stoned him at the Musalla (ʿId praying Place), and when the stones troubled him, he jumped quickly and ran away, but we overtook him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death (there).'

[Machine] He said that a man from the Muslims came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque and called out to him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery." So he turned away from him. Then he turned his face towards him and said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery." He turned away from him again until he repeated that four times. When he bore witness against himself four times, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said to him, "Are you insane?" He said, "No." He said, "Have you retained your sanity?" He said, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Go and stone him." Ibn Shihab said, "Those who heard Jabir bin Abdullah inform me that I was among those who stoned him in the mosque. When the stones began to hurt him, he fled and we caught up with him and stoned him."
