Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Hazrat Umar said: I fear that a long time will pass over people until someone will say: We do not find the command of stoning in the Book of Allah! Thus, they will go astray by abandoning an obligation which Allah has revealed. Beware! The command of stoning is true when a man is married, or evidence is established, or she is pregnant, or there is a confession, and indeed I have recited it. Translation: When a married man and a married woman both commit adultery, then you must certainly stone them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned, and after him, we also stoned. Hazrat Sufyan was asked: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stone? He replied: Yes.

30693 - It was said to Sufyan: Did the Messenger (1) of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stone? He said: Yes (2).

Hazrat Sha’bah says that I asked Hazrat Hammad about the person who confesses to adultery, how many times will he be returned (for punishment)? He replied: Once. And I asked Hazrat Hakam? So he replied: Four times.

30695 - And I asked al-Hakam, and he said: Four times.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib narrates that Hazrat Ma'iz bin Malik came to Hazrat Abu Bakr and informed him that he had committed adultery. Hazrat Abu Bakr said to him: "Have you mentioned this matter to anyone other than me?" He replied: "No." Hazrat Abu Bakr said to him: "Conceal your fault due to Allah's covering and repent to Allah. Surely, people are shamed but do not take heed, and Allah, the Lord of Honor, accepts His servants' repentance." But his soul did not find peace until he mentioned it before Hazrat Umar. Hazrat Umar also gave him the same answer that Hazrat Abu Bakr had given. His soul still did not find peace until he came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and informed him: "Indeed, I have committed adultery." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, turned away from him, until he repeated it several times before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. When it became too much, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent a messenger to his people and asked them: "Is he ill? Or is he afflicted with madness?" They replied: "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, indeed he is perfectly sound." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: "Is he unmarried or married?" They said: "Rather, he is married." So, by the command of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he was stoned to death.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib narrates that Hazrat Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) carried out stoning, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq carried out stoning, and I have carried out stoning.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Hazrat Umar said: Stoning is one of the punishments prescribed by Allah, so do not let people be deceived about it, and its sign is this: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) carried out stoning, Hazrat Abu Bakr carried out stoning, and I have also carried out stoning.

Hazrat Abu Usman bin Nasr narrates that my father said: I was among those who stoned Hazrat Ma'iz. When he felt the pain of the stones, he said: "Return me to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him." But I refused this. The narrator says: I went to Hazrat Asim bin Umar and said: Hazrat Hasan bin Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah says: Indeed, news has reached me that—so I denied this. Then I went to Hazrat Jabir and said: Indeed, Hazrat Aslami has mentioned something from the words of Ma'iz bin Malik, that—"Return me," I deny this! So he replied: I was among those who stoned him, and you said: Indeed, he felt the pain of the stones and said: "Return me to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Indeed, my people have put me in distress." And the people said: "Go to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he will not kill you." But we did not leave him until we killed him. Then, when the condition of Ma'iz was mentioned before the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: "Why did you not leave him until I could consider his condition?"

Hazrat Abu Barzah narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned to death one of our men, whose name was Ma'iz bin Malik.

Hazrat Najeeh Abu Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) also stoned the adulterer, and Hazrat Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) also stoned the adulterer, and the way of both of them is also from the religion.
