[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "When an old man and an old woman commit adultery, stone them to death." 'Umar said, "When this verse was revealed, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'Write it for me.' Shu'bah said, 'It seems that he disliked that.' 'Umar said, 'Don't you see that an old man, if he does not marry, he is whipped, and if a young man commits adultery after having been married, he is stoned to death?'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا أَلْبَتَّةَ» قَالَ عُمَرُ لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَكْتِبْنِيهَا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ الشَّيْخَ إِذَا لَمْ يُحْصَنْ جُلِدَ وَأَنَّ الشَّابَّ إِذَا زَنَا وَقَدْ أُحْصِنَ رُجِمَ؟  

she said, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited the Āyah of Stoning to us: "al-shaykhu wa-al-shaykhah idhā zanayā fārjumūhumā al-battata bimā qaḍayā min al-ladhhah (The ˹married˺ man and a woman, if they commit adultery, then absolutely stone them for what they spent in ˹seeking˺ pleasure.)" (Using translation from Ḥākim 8070)   

لَقَدْ أَقَرَأَنَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ «الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ فَارْجُمُوهُمَا أَلْبَتَّةَ بِمَا قَضَيَا مِنَ اللَّذَّةِ»  

she said, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited the Āyah of Stoning to us: "al-shaykhu wa-al-shaykhah idhā zanayā fārjumūhumā al-battata bimā qaḍayā min al-ladhhah (The ˹married˺ man and a woman, if they commit adultery, then absolutely stone them for what they spent in ˹seeking˺ pleasure.)" (Using translation from Ḥākim 8070)   

لَقَدْ أَقْرَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ «الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ فَارْجُمُوهُمَا أَلْبَتَّةَ بِمَا قَضَيَا مِنَ اللَّذَّةِ»  

[Machine] I will go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , if Allah wills, and mention this and that. When he mentions the verse of stoning, I say, "O Messenger of Allah, write down the verse of stoning for me." He said, "I cannot."  

أَذْهَبُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَأَذْكُرُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِذَا ذَكَرَ أَيَّةَ الرَّجْمِ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكْتِبْنِي آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَذَكَرَ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكْتِبْنِي آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ قَالَ «لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ»  

[Machine] Ubayy ibn Ka'b said, "They are whipped and stoned, and they are stoned and not whipped, and they are whipped and not stoned." Qatadah, the knowledgeable sheikh, explained it as follows: When a married person commits adultery, they are whipped and then stoned. When an unmarried person commits adultery, they are stoned. And when an unmarried person who has not been chaste commits adultery, they are whipped.  

قَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ «يُجْلَدُونَ وَيُرْجَمُونَ وَيُرْجَمُونَ وَلَا يُجْلَدُونَ وَيُجْلَدُونَ وَلَا يُرْجَمُونَ» فَفَسَّرَهُ قَتَادَةُ الشَّيْخُ الْمُحْصَنُ إِذَا زَنَا يُجْلَدُ ثُمَّ يُرْجَمُ وَالشَّابُّ الْمُحْصَنُ يُرْجَمُ إِذَا زَنَا وَالشَّابُّ الَّذِي لَمْ يُحْصَنْ يُجْلَدْ  

[Machine] Ubayy said, "She used to recite Surah Al-Baqarah and it was the longest. And indeed, it contained the verse of stoning." The sheikh and the sheikha stoned them both as a punishment from Allah. And Allah is powerful and wise.  

أُبَيٌّ «كَانَتْ لَتَعْدِلُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَأَطْوَلَ وَلَقَدْ كَانَ فِيهَا آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ» الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ فَارْجُمُوهُمَا أَلْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
