Abu Hurairah said: A man and a woman of the Jews who were married committed fornication at the time when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madina. Stoning was a prescribed punishment for them in accordance with the Torah, but they abandoned it and followed tajbiyyah, meaning, the man was beaten a hundred times with a rope painted with tar and was seated on a donkey with his face towards the tail of the donkey. Their rabbis then assembled and sent some people to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said to them: Ask him about the prescribed punishment for fornication. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition. They version adds: They were not the followers of his religion, and he (the prophet) was to pronounce judgment between them. So he was given a choice in this verse: ”If they do come to thee, either judge between them, or decline to interfere.

488. Commentary: Although this narration is weak in its chain of transmission, the actual incident is present in the two Sahihs, and this hadith has also come in detail in the Book of Hudud. [سنن أبى داود، حديث : 4450] From this it is understood that, due to an important need, Jews may enter the mosque.
