Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10631

وَعَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَهْطًا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَاؤُوا مَعَهُمْ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَقَالُوا : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الزِّنَا ؟ ، فَقَالَ : " اذْهَبُوا فَائْتُونِي بِرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ " . فَذَهَبُوا فَأَتَوْهُ بِرَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا شَابٌّ فَصِيحٌ وَالْآخَرُ شَيْخٌ قَدْ سَقَطَ حَاجِبَاهُ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ حَتَّى يَرْفَعَهُمَا بِعِصَابَةٍ .
فَقَالَ : " أَنْشُدُكُمَا اللَّهَ ، لَمَا أَخْبَرْتُمُونَا بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُوسَى فِي الزَّانِي ؟ " . فَقَالَا : نَشَدْتَنَا بِعَظِيمٍ ، وَإِنَّا نُخْبِرُكَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْزَلَ عَلَى مُوسَى فِي الزَّانِي الرَّجْمَ ، وَإِنَّا كُنَّا قَوْمًا شَببَةً وَكَانَ نِسَاؤُنَا حَسَنَةً وُجُوهُهُنَّ ، وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَثُرَ فِينَا فَلَمْ نَقُمْ لَهُ ، فَصِرْنَا نَجْلِدُ وَالتَّعْيِيرُ ، فَقَالَ : " اذْهَبُوا بِصَاحِبَتِكُمْ فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَارْجُمُوهَا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ . وَلَهُ طَرِيقٌ فِي سُورَةِ الْمَائِدَةِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Some people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), bringing a woman with them. They said: "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), what has been revealed to you concerning adultery?" He said: "Go and bring me two men from among the scholars of the Children of Israel." They went and brought two of their scholars to him; one of them was a young man and eloquent, and the other was an old man whose eyebrows drooped over his eyes, so that they had to be lifted. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I ask you both by Allah: tell us what Allah Almighty revealed to Sayyiduna Musa concerning the one who commits adultery." They said: "You have asked us by something mighty, and we will tell you: Allah Almighty revealed to Sayyiduna Musa the command of stoning for the one who commits adultery. We are a people among whom young men are many, and our women are beautiful. Adultery became widespread among us, so we stopped giving this punishment; we would have them lashed and put to shame." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take your companion away, and when she gives birth to the child in her womb, stone her."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). This report has another route, which will come in Surah al-Ma'idah.
