حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَهُودِيٍّ مُحَمَّمٍ مَجْلُودٍ ، فَدَعَاهُمْ فَقَالَ : " هَكَذَا تَجِدُونَ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ حَدَّ الزَّانِي " ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، فَدَعَا رَجُلًا مِنْ عُلَمَائِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ : " أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ عَلَى مُوسَى أَهَكَذَا تَجِدُونَ حَدَّ الزَّانِي ؟ " قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّكَ نَشَدْتَنِي لَمْ أُخْبِرْكَ ، نَجِدُ حَدَّ الزَّانِي فِي كِتَابِنَا الرَّجْمَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَثُرَ فِي أَشْرَافِنَا الرَّجْمُ ، فَكُنَّا إِذَا أَخَذْنَا الشَّرِيفَ تَرَكْنَاهُ ، وَكُنَّا إِذَا أَخَذْنَا الضَّعِيفَ أَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، فَقُلْنَا : تَعَالَوْا فَلْنَجْتَمِعْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ نُقِيمُهُ عَلَى الشَّرِيفِ وَالْوَضِيعِ ، فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عَلَى التَّحْمِيمِ وَالْجَلْدِ مَكَانَ الرَّجْمِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَحْيَا أَمْرَكَ إِذْ أَمَاتُوهُ " وَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ .
´It was narrated that Bara' bin Azib said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by a Jew with a blackened face who had been flogged. He called them and said: 'Is this the punishment for the adulterer that you find in your Book?' They said: 'Yes.' Then he called one of their scholars and said: 'I adjure you by Allah (SWT) Who sent down the Tawrah (Torah) to Musa! Is this the punishment for the adulterer that you find in your Book?' He said: 'No; if you had not adjured me by Allah (SWT), I would not have told you. The punishment for the adulterer that we find in our Book is stoning, but many of our nobles were being stoned (because of the prevalence of adultery among them), so if we caught one of our nobles (committing adultery), we would let him go; but if we caught one of the weak among us, we would carry out the punishment on him. We said: “Come, let us agree upon something that we may impose on both noble and weak alike.” So we agreed to blacken the face and whip them, instead of stoning.' The Prophet (ﷺ) 'O Allah (SWT), I am the first of those who revive your command which they had killed off,' and he issued orders that (the man) be stoned.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
To alter Allah’s laws and then call one’s own fabricated laws “the laws of Allah” is a characteristic of the Jews.
Muslims should avoid this.
➋
Customs and traditions that are contrary to the Shariah should be conformed to the Shariah.
➌
Even in the existing versions of the Bible, the punishment of death for the crime of adultery is mentioned.
In the book of Deuteronomy attributed to Musa (alayhis salam), it is recorded as follows:
“If a man is found lying with a married woman, then both of them shall be put to death, the man who lay with the woman and the woman as well.
Thus you shall purge the evil from Israel. If a virgin girl is betrothed to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death, so that they die.” (Deuteronomy, chapter 22, verses 22 to 24)
➍
The implementation of the law should be equal for both the rich and the poor.
➎
Concealing the correct ruling is a habit of the Jews.
➏
It is not permissible to take an oath by other than Allah even from a non-Muslim; rather, the oath should be taken by mentioning an attribute of Allah which he also acknowledges.
