اُردوEn
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاعْتَرَفَ بِالزِّنَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ اعْتَرَفَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَبِيكَ جُنُونٌ؟)) قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: ((أَحْصَنْتَ؟)) قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُجِمَ بِالْمُصَلَّى فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ فَرَّ، فَأُدْرِكَ فَرُجِمَ حَتَّى مَاتَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرًا وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the tribe of Banu Aslam came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and confessed to committing adultery, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. He confessed again, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again turned away, until he had testified against himself four times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Are you insane?" He replied: "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then asked: "Are you married?" He replied: "Yes." Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be stoned to death, so he was taken to the Eid ground or the funeral ground and stoned. When the stones struck him, he ran away, but he was caught and stoned further until he died. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke good words about him, but did not perform his funeral prayer.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... However, in the narration of Sahih Bukhari, it is mentioned that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke good words regarding him and performed the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) over him. The way to reconcile these two narrations is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not perform the prayer immediately after the stoning (rajm), but rather performed it later.
