Sunan Abi Dawud 4452 (Book 40, Hadith 102) #24743
Stoning for Adultery

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a Jewish man and woman who committed fornication and were sentenced to be stoned to death after four witnesses testified that they had seen the man's sexual organ penetrate the woman's.

Jabir b. 'Abd Allah said: The Jews brought a man and a woman of them who had committed fornication. He said: Bring me two learned men or yours. So they brought the two sons of suria. He adjured them and said: How do you think about the matter if these two persons bear witness to the effect that they have seen his sexual organ in her female organ (penetrated) like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case, they will be stoned to death. He asked: What is there which prevents you from stoning them: They replied : Our rule has gone, so we disapproved of killing. The Messenger of Allah then called four witnesses. They brought four witnesses. Who testified that they had seen his sexual organ (penetrated) in her female organ like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case. The Prophet then gave orders for stoning them.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَلْخِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ مُجَالِدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَتِ الْيَهُودُ بِرَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ زَنَيَا فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِأَعْلَمِ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْكُمْ فَأَتَوْهُ بِابْنَىْ صُورِيَا فَنَشَدَهُمَا ‏"‏ كَيْفَ تَجِدَانِ أَمْرَ هَذَيْنِ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالاَ نَجِدُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَرْبَعَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا ذَكَرَهُ فِي فَرْجِهَا مِثْلَ الْمِيلِ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ رُجِمَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكُمَا أَنْ تَرْجُمُوهُمَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالاَ ذَهَبَ سُلْطَانُنَا فَكَرِهْنَا الْقَتْلَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالشُّهُودِ فَجَاءُوا بِأَرْبَعَةٍ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا ذَكَرَهُ فِي فَرْجِهَا مِثْلَ الْمِيلِ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِرَجْمِهِمَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Abide by laws & regulations set forth by God
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a Jewish man and woman who committed adultery, which is considered a major sin in Islam. The Jews brought two learned men of their own to judge them, but they refused to sentence them because their rule was no longer in effect. The Prophet Muhammad then called four witnesses who testified that they saw the man's sexual organ penetrate the woman's like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case. After this testimony, he gave orders for them to be stoned to death as punishment for their crime. This hadith teaches us that adultery is an extremely serious offense and should not be taken lightly; it also shows us how important it is for justice systems to have reliable witnesses so that justice can be served properly. Additionally, this hadith serves as an example of how even those with power must abide by laws and regulations set forth by God or else face consequences accordingly.
