[Machine] That a group of people came to the Prophet ﷺ with a woman and said, "O Muhammad! What has been revealed to you regarding adultery?" He replied, "Go and bring me two men from the learned scholars of the Children of Israel." So they brought him two men, one of them was a young man with a good voice, while the other had his eyebrow covering his eye, and he had to raise it with a string. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "I adjure both of you by Allah, do you know what Allah revealed to Moses regarding the adulterer?" They replied, "You have adjured us by a great oath. Indeed, we inform you that Allah revealed to Moses the punishment of stoning for the adulterer, and we were a youthful and attractive group, and our women were beautiful. This sin became widespread among us, so we did not enforce the punishment. Instead, we would flog (the adulterer)." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Go and bring your companion and when she gives birth, stone her."  

الطبراني:١١٨٧٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ وَزَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى السَّاجِيُّ قَالَا ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُكَينٍ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَيَّةَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ

أَنَّ رَهْطًا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءُوا مَعَهُمْ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الزِّنَا؟ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا فَائْتُونِي بِرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ» فَأَتَوْهُ بِرَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا شَابٌّ فَصِيحٌ وَالْآخَرُ شَابٌّ قَدْ سَقَطَ حَاجِبُهُ عَلَى عَيْنِهِ حَتَّى يَرْفَعَهَا بعصابٍ فَقَالَ «أَنْشُدُكُمَا اللهَ لَمَا أَخْبَرْتُمُونا بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَى مُوسَى فِي الزَّانِيِ» قَالَا نَشَدْتَنَا بِعَظِيمٍ وَإِنَّا نُخْبِرَكَ أَنَّ اللهَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَى مُوسَى فِي الزَّانِيِ الرَّجْمَ وَأَنَّا كُنَّا قَوْمًا شَبَبَةً وَكَانَتْ نِسَاؤُنَا حَسَنَةً وُجُوهُهَا وَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَثُرَ فِينَا فَلَمْ نَقُمْ لَهُ فَصِرْنَا نَجْلِدُ وَالتَّعْبِيرُ فَقَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بصاحبِتِكُمْ فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فارْجُمُوها»
