الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ
عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : قَالَ
عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ " خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَطُولَ بِالنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُ : إِنَّا لا نَجْدُ الرَّجْمَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَيَضِلُّوا بِتَرْكِ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ ، أَلا وَإِنَّ الرَّجْمَ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ زَنَى إِذَا أَحْصَنَ وَقَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ ، أَوْ كَانَ الْحَمْلُ أَوِ الاعْتِرَافُ ، أَلا وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ رَجَمَ وَرَجَمْنَا مَعَهُ " .
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I fear that if a long time passes over the people, someone may say: "We do not find the ruling of stoning (rajm) in the Book of Allah," thus they will go astray by rejecting an obligation revealed by Allah. Listen! Whoever commits adultery while being married, and proof is established against him, or there is pregnancy, or he confesses, then stoning is the truth. Listen! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) carried out stoning, and we also stoned along with him.
