[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "When an old man and an old woman commit adultery, stone them to death immediately." Amr said, when this verse was revealed, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him if I should write it. It seemed as if he disliked that idea, so Amr said to him, "Do you not see that when an old man who is married commits adultery, he is flogged and stoned, but if he is not married, only flogging is applied, and when a married woman commits adultery, she is stoned?"
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ» فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَكْتُبُهَا؟ فَكَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو «أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ الشَّيْخَ إِذَا زَنَى وَقَدْ أُحْصِنَ جُلِدَ وَرُجِمَ وَإِذَا لَمْ يُحْصِنْ جُلِدَ وَأَنَّ الثَّيِّبَ إِذَا زَنَى وَقَدْ أُحْصِنَ رُجِمَ»
