41. Stoning
٤١۔ كِتَابُ الرَّجْمِ
"If she let him do that, I will flog him with one hundred stripes, and if she did not let him do that, I will stone him (to death)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3362)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ وَقَعَ بِجَارِيَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ «إِنْ كَانَتْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَهُ فَاجْلِدُوهُ مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَهُ فَارْجُمُوهُ»
Habib ibn Salim said: A man called AbdurRahman ibn Hunayn had intercourse with his wife's slave-girl. The matter was brought to an-Nu'man ibn Bashir who was the Governor of Kufah. He said: I shall decide between you in accordance with the decision of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If she made her lawful for you, I shall flog you one hundred lashes. If she did not make her lawful for you, I shall stone you to death. So they found that she had made her lawful for him. He, therefore, flogged him one hundred lashes. Qatadah said: I wrote to Habib b. Salim; so he wrote this (tradition) to me. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4458)
لَأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيكَ بِقَضِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كَانَتْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَكَ جَلَدْتُكَ مِائَةً وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَكَ رَجَمْتُكَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ» قَالَ فَكَانَتْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَهُ فَجَلَدَهُ مِائَةً قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَى حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ بِهَذَا
“A man who had intercourse with the slave woman of his wife was brought to Nuʿman bin Bashir. He said: 'I will pass no other judgement than that of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ He said: 'If (his wife) had made her lawful for him, then I will give him one hundred lashes, but if she has not given permission, I will stone him.' ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2551)
«لَأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيهَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَهُ جَلَدْتُهُ مِائَةً وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَحَلَّتْهَا لَهُ رَجَمْتُهُ»
