عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَمْ تَقْرَءُونَ سُورَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ قَالَ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ آيَةً قَالَ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ الْبَقَرَةِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا وَإِنَّ فِيهَا آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), he asked: How many verses do you count in Surah Al-Ahzab? I (Zirr bin Hubaysh) said: About seventy-six or seventy-seven verses. He said: I recited this Surah to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was as long as Surah Al-Baqarah or even longer, and it also contained the verse of stoning.
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ زِرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ كَأَيِّنْ تَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ أَوْ كَأَيِّنْ تَعُدُّهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَسَبْعِينَ آيَةً فَقَالَ قَطُّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَادِلُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَلَقَدْ قَرَأْنَا فِيهَا الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
. (Second chain) Zar says: Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me: How many verses of Surah Al-Ahzab do you recite? I said: Seventy-three verses. He said: That's all? I had seen this Surah when it was equal to Surah Al-Baqarah. We also used to recite this verse in it: "Al-shaykhu wa al-shaykhatu idha zanaya farjumuhuma al-battata nakalan min Allah, wallahu 'azizun hakim." ... When an old man and an old woman (that is, a married man and woman) commit adultery, then stone them both to death; this is a definite command and a punishment from Allah, and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
