25 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَي الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ، وَكَانَ مِمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةُ الرَّجْمِ فَرَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَجَمْنَا بَعْدَهُ» قَالَ: فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِطُولِهِ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ أَشْيَاءَ وَهَذَا مِمَّا لَمْ أَحْفَظْ مِنْهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saying on the pulpit: Indeed, Allah Almighty sent Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth and revealed the Book to him, and among what was revealed to him was the verse regarding "rajm" (stoning). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carried out stoning, and after him, we also carried out stoning. Sufyan says: I heard this narration as a lengthy narration from Zuhri, at that time I memorized some parts of it, but this part was included in it, which I did not memorize that day.
