Isaf and Nailah were transformed into stones

bazzar:9735Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Jabbār > Yūnus b. Bukayr > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Bakr > ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah

We have always heard: Isaf and Nailah were a man and a woman from Jurhum who committed illicit intercourse in the Kaabah, so they were transformed into two stones.

We do not know this hadith to be narrated except from Aisha ᴿᴬ through this chain of transmission.

البزّار:٩٧٣٥حدثنا أحمد بن عبد الجبار قالَ حَدَّثَنا يونس بن بكير قالَ حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أبي بكر عن عمرة عن عائشة ؓ أنها قالت ما زلنا

نسمع إساف ونائلة رجل وامرأة من جرهم زنيا في الكعبة فمسخا حجرين وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى إِلا عَنْ عائشة ؓ بهذا الإسناد

وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى إِلا عَنْ عائشة رضي الله عنها بهذا الإسناد
