بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الرَّجْمِChapter on what is reported regarding stoning (rajm)
Hadith 1550
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ أُتِيَ بِامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ فِي سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُرْجَمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ : " لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا، إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ : وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلاثُونَ شَهْرًا سورة الأحقاف آية 15، وَقَالَ : وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ سورة البقرة آية 233، فَالْحَمْلُ يَكُونُ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ، فَلَا رَجْمَ عَلَيْهَا " . فَبَعَثَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فِي أَثَرِهَا، فَوَجَدَهَا قَدْ رُجِمَتْ
It reached Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) that a woman came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) whose child was born in six months, and he ordered her to be stoned. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that she cannot be stoned; Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, says in His Book: "The bearing of the child and his weaning is thirty months," and in another place He says: "Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years for those who wish to complete the period of suckling." So the pregnancy is six months; for this reason, there is no stoning. When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this, he sent people after the woman (so that she would not be stoned), but when they looked, she had already been stoned.
