حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي لَيْثٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ , فَنَادَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ . فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَتَنَحَّى ، تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ . فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ , حَتَّى ثَنَّى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ ، دَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ : " أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ ؟ " قَالَ : لَا . قَالَ : " فَهَلْ أَحْصَنْتَ ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم : " اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ " . قَالَ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُ ، فَرَجَمْنَاهُ فِي الْمُصَلَّى ، فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ هَرَبَ ، فَأَدْرَكْنَاهُ بِالْحَرَّةِ ، فَرَجَمْنَاهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Muslim came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have committed the sin of adultery." Upon hearing this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away. He came from the right side and said the same thing. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again turned his face away. Then he came from the left side and said the same thing. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again turned away. But when he confessed for the fourth time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Are you insane?" He said, "No." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Are you married?" He said, "Yes!" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take him and carry out the punishment of stoning upon him." The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) took him away. Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I was also among those who stoned him. We stoned him at the Eidgah. When the stones hit him, he started to run away. We caught him at Harrah and stoned him to death."
