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 ثُمَّ اعْتَرَفَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبِكَ 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 both of them) 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. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. He confessed again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also turned away from him. He confessed yet again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away again, until when he had testified against himself four times, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Are you afflicted with madness?" He replied: "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are you married?" He replied: "Yes." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered, and he was stoned to death at the Eid prayer ground. When the stones struck him, he ran away, but he was caught and stoned until he died. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke good words about him, but did not perform his funeral prayer.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is permissible to perform the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) for such a person; the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed the funeral prayer for certain individuals of this type. On this occasion, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not participate himself in order to admonish the people.
