Bayhaqi 16930 — The evidence on the conditions of ihsan

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي ⦗٣٧٤⦘ طَالِبٍ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْحَافِظُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَا: ثنا وَكِيعٌ، وَثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: مَرُّوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَهُودِيٍّ قَدْ جُلِدَ وَحُمِمَ وَجْهُهُ، فَسَأَلَ الْيَهُودَ: " مَنْ عَالِمُكُمْ؟ " فَقَالُوا: فُلَانٌ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَجَاءَ، فَقَالَ: " مَا تَجِدُونَ حَدَّ الزِّنَا فِي كِتَابِكُمْ؟ " فَقَالُوا: نَجِدُهُ الرَّجْمَ، وَلَكِنْ فَشَا الزِّنَا فِي أَشْرَافِنَا، فَكَانَ الشَّرِيفُ إِذَا زَنَى لَمْ يُرْجَمْ، وَإِذَا زَنَى السَّفِيهُ رُجِمَ، فَاصْطَلَحْنَا عَلَى الْجَلْدِ وَالتَّحْمِيمِ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَحْيَا سُنَّةً أَمَاتُوهَا " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجِّ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that people passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a man who had been flogged and whose face had been blackened and who was being paraded about. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the Jews: "Who is your scholar?" They said: So-and-so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent someone to him, and when he came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What do you find as the prescribed punishment for adultery in your Book?" He said: Stoning; but adultery spread among our nobles, so when a person of high standing committed adultery he was not stoned, and when a poor person committed adultery he was stoned. So in place of stoning we give the punishment of flogging and blackening the face. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be stoned, and he was stoned, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, bear witness that I have revived one of their Sunnahs that had died."
