It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a Jewish man and woman to be stoned at the door of the mosque. When the Jew felt the pain of the stones, he began to bend over to shield the woman, until both of them perished. In reality, the punishment that was given to them was the punishment prescribed by Allah, because proof of adultery had been established regarding both of them, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carried out this punishment upon them.
