“I fear that after a long time has passed, some will say: 'I do not find (the sentence of) stoning in the Book of Allah ﷺ,' and they will go astray by abandoning one of the obligations enjoined by Allah (SWT). Rather stoning is a must if a man is married (or previously married) and proof is established, or if pregnancy results or if he admits it. I have read it (in the Quran). “And if an old man and an old woman commit adultery, stone them both.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned (adulterers) and we stoned (them) after him.' ”

ʿUmar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, "We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book," and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession." Sufyan added, "I have memorized this narration in this way." ʿUmar added, "Surely Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him."

"Verily Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with the truth, and he revealed the Book to him. Among what was revealed to him was the Ayah of stoning. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned, and we stoned after him. I fear that time will pass over the people such that someone will say 'We do not see stoning in the Book of Allah.' They will be misguided by leaving an obligation which Allah revealed. Indeed stoning is the retribution for the adulterer if he was married and the evidence has been established, or due to pregnancy, or confession."

[Machine] That people's time should pass until someone says, "We do not find stoning in the Book of Allah," and they stray by neglecting a duty that Allah has revealed. Verily, stoning is a punishment for those who commit adultery while being married, and evidence has been mentioned through a pregnancy, confession, or testimony. We have also read that if the sheikh and the sheikha commit adultery, then stone them to death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned, and we have stoned after him. Abu Abdulrahman said, "I do not know of anyone who mentioned the sheikh and the sheikha being stoned to death except for Sufyan, and it is likely that he was mistaken. And Allah knows best."

ʿUmar said: Allah, may He be exalted, sent Muhammad ﷺ and sent down the Book to him. Among that which was revealed to him was the verse of stoning. We recited it and understood it. But I fear that with the passage of time, some people will say: We do not find the verse of stoning in the Book of Allah, and as a result an obligation that Allah revealed will be forsaken. Stoning is the due punishment in the Book of Allah for those who commit zina, both men and women, if they have been married and if proof is established, or there is a pregnancy or a confession. (Using translation from Aḥmad 276)

[Machine] That people continue for a long time until someone says, "We cannot find stoning in the book of Allah," and they went astray by neglecting a duty that Allah has revealed. Surely, stoning is a punishment if a man is married, and evidence is established, or if pregnancy or confession exists. We have read it from the Sheikh and the Sheikha when they committed adultery, so stone them firmly. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stoned and we stoned after him.
