Sahih Muslim 1672c (Book 28, Hadith 22) #11474
Justice for the Innocent

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad commanded that a Jew who killed a girl of the Ansar for her ornaments and threw her in a well should be stoned to death.

Anas reported that a Jew killed a girl of the Ansar for her ornaments and then threw her in a well and smashed her head with a stone. He was caught and brought to the Messenger of Allah , and he commanded that he should be stoned to death. So he was stoned until he died.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَتَلَ جَارِيَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَلَى حُلِيٍّ لَهَا ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهَا فِي الْقَلِيبِ وَرَضَخَ رَأْسَهَا بِالْحِجَارَةِ فَأُخِذَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ فَرُجِمَ حَتَّى مَاتَ

The Prophet Muhammad commanded that the Jew who killed an innocent girl should be stoned to death as punishment for his crime. This shows us how important it is to uphold justice and punish those who commit wrongdoings, regardless of their religion or background. It also teaches us mercy, as even though this man committed an awful crime, he was still given a chance to repent before being punished.
