مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ

سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " زَنَى رَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَةٌ مِنْ الْيَهُودِ وَقَدْ أُحْصِنَا حِينَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَقَدْ كَانَ الرَّجْمُ مَكْتُوبًا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ ، فَتَرَكُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا بِالتَّجْبِيهِ يُضْرَبُ مِائَةً بِحَبْلٍ مَطْلِيٍّ بِقَارٍ وَيُحْمَلُ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَجْهُهُ مِمَّا يَلِي دُبُرَ الْحِمَارِ ، فَاجْتَمَعَ أَحْبَارٌ مِنْ أَحْبَارِهِمْ ، فَبَعَثُوا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالُوا : سَلُوهُ عَنْ حَدِّ الزَّانِي ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ فِيهِ : قَالَ : وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينِهِ فَيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَخُيِّرَ فِي ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَإِنْ جَاءُوكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ سورة المائدة آية 42 " .
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.
