[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "If I were to stone someone without clear evidence, I would be stoning myself." Ibn Abbas replied, "No, but this is a woman who had openly declared her faith in Islam."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ لَرَجَمْتُهَا» ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَا وَلَكِنْ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ قَدْ أَعْلَنَتْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ
Are these the two about whom Allah's Apostle ﷺ said." If I were to stone one without evidence, I would have definitely stoned her"? Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) said: She is not this woman; but she is the one who (committed adultery) openly.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ لَرَجَمْتُهَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لاَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ
“Ibn ʿAbbas mentioned two people who had engaged in the process of Liʿan. Ibn Shaddad said to him: 'Is this the one of whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If I were to stone anyone without proof I would have stoned so-and-so.” IbnʿAbbas said: 'No, that was a woman who, (although she was a Muslim), used to expose herself.'”
لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ لَرَجَمْتُهَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ
