3250 - (ق) عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ـ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم ـ: إِنَّ اللهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّداً صلّى الله عليه وسلّم بِالْحَقِّ، وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ، فَكَانَ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ، فَقَرَأْنَاهَا وَعَقَلْنَاهَا وَوَعَيْناهَا. رَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ. فَأَخْشَى إِنْ طَالَ بِالنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ، أَنْ يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ: وَاللهِ مَا نَجِدُ آية الرَّجْمِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ، فَيَضِلُّوا بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللهُ. وَالرَّجْمُ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَى إِذَا أُحْصِنَ، مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، إِذَا قَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ، أَوْ كَانَ الْحَبَلُ، أَوِ الاِعْتِرَافُ.
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās reported that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb, while he was sitting on the Prophet's pulpit, said: "Verily Allah sent Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth and sent the Book down to him. Part of what was revealed to him was the verse on stoning. We recited, understood, and comprehended it. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) did administer stoning and we administered it after his death. Yet, I am concerned that, after a long time has passed, someone may say: 'We cannot find stoning in Allah's Book,' and they will be led astray for abandoning an obligation that Allah has sent down. Indeed, stoning is established in the Book of Allah against those married men and women who commit adultery, when there is evidence, pregnancy, or a confession."
