Narrated Anas: Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to
the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so
the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and
to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they
had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades
(reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the
camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they
were (caught and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that their hands and
legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated
pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized,
till they die.

Narrated Anas: A group of people from 'Ukl (tribe) came
to the Prophet and they were living with the people of As-Suffa, but they
became ill as the climate of Medina did not suit them, so they said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Provide us with milk." The Prophet said, I see no other way
for you than to use the camels of Allah's Apostle." So they went and drank
the milk and urine of the camels, (as medicine) and became healthy and fat.
Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels away. When a help-seeker
came to Allah's Apostle, he sent some men in their pursuit, and they were
captured and brought before mid day. The Prophet ordered for some iron
pieces to be made red hot, and their eyes were branded with them and their
hands and feet were cut off and were not cauterized. Then they were put at a
place called Al-Harra, and when they asked for water to drink they were not
given till they died. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and
murder and fought against Allah and His Apostle.")

Narrated Anas bin Malik: A group of people from 'Ukl (or
'Uraina) tribe ----but I think he said that they were from 'Ukl came to
Medina and (they became ill, so) the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd
of (Milch) she-camels and told them to go out and drink the camels' urine
and milk (as a medicine). So they went and drank it, and when they became
healthy, they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. This news
reached the Prophet early in the morning, so he sent (some) men in their
pursuit and they were captured and brought to the Prophet before midday. He
ordered to cut off their hands and legs and their eyes to be branded with
heated iron pieces and they were thrown at Al-Harra, and when they asked for
water to drink, they were not given water. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those were the
people who committed theft and murder and reverted to disbelief after being
believers (Muslims), and fought against Allah and His Apostle").

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Seven (people)
will be shaded by Allah by His Shade on the Day of Resurrection when there
will be no shade except His Shade. (They will be), a just ruler, a young man
who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, a man who remembers Allah
in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears, a man whose heart is
attached to mosques (offers his compulsory congregational prayers in the
mosque), two men who love each other for Allah's Sake, a man who is called
by a charming lady of noble birth to commit illegal sexual intercourse with
her, and he says, 'I am afraid of Allah,' and (finally), a man who gives in
charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has
given."

Narrated Anas: I will narrate to you a narration which
nobody will narrate to you after me. I heard that form the Prophet. I heard
the Prophet saying, "The Hour sill not be established" or said: "From among
the portents of the Hour is that the religious knowledge will betaken away
(by the death of religious Scholars) and general ignorance (of religion)
will appear; and the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common, and
(open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, and men will decrease in
number while women will increase so much so that, for fifty women there will
only be one man to look after them."

Narrated 'Ikrima from Ibn 'Abbas: Allah's Apostles said,
"When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a
believer at the time of committing it; and if he steals, he is not a
believer at the time of stealing; and if he drinks an alcoholic drink, when
he is not a believer at the time of drinking it; and he is not a believer
when he commits a murder," 'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith
taken away from him?" He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then
separating them, and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like
this, by clasping his hands again.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The one who
commits an illegal sexual intercourse is not a believer at the time of

time of committing theft and a drinker of alcoholic drink is not a believer
at the time of drinking. Yet, (the gate of) repentance is open thereafter."

asked, "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with
the wife of your neighbor."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: A Jew and a Jewess were brought to
Allah's Apostle on a charge of committing an illegal sexual intercourse. The
Prophet asked them. "What is the legal punishment (for this sin) in your
Book (Torah)?" They replied, "Our priests have innovated the punishment of
blackening the faces with charcoal and Tajbiya." 'Abdullah bin Salam said,
"O Allah's Apostle, tell them to bring the Torah." The Torah was brought,
and then one of the Jews put his hand over the Divine Verse of the Rajam
(stoning to death) and started reading what preceded and what followed it.
On that, Ibn Salam said to the Jew, "Lift up your hand." Behold! The Divine
Verse of the Rajam was under his hand. So Allah's Apostle ordered that the
two (sinners) be stoned to death, and so they were stoned. Ibn 'Umar added:
So both of them were stoned at the Balat and I saw the Jew sheltering the
Jewess.

there came a person driving a donkey carrying food to the Prophet ..... (The

man's opponent who was wiser than him, got up saying (to Allah's Apostle)
"Judge us according to Allah's Law and kindly allow me (to speak)." The
Prophet said, "'Speak." He said, "My son was a laborer working for this man
and he committed an illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and I gave
one-hundred sheep and a slave as a ransom for my son's sin. Then I asked a
learned man about this case and he informed me that my son should receive
one hundred lashes and be exiled for one year, and the man's wife should be
stoned to death." The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will
judge you according to the Laws of Allah. Your one-hundred sheep and the
slave are to be returned to you, and your son has to receive one-hundred
lashes and be exiled for one year. O Unais! Go to the wife of this man, and
if she confesses, then stone her to death." Unais went to her and she
confessed. He then stoned her to death.

|
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 'Umar said, "I am afraid that after
a long time has passed, people may say, "We do not find the Verses of the
Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book," and consequently they may go
astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that
the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual
intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses
or pregnancy or confession." Sufyan added, "I have memorized this narration
in this way." 'Umar added, "Surely Allah's Apostle carried out the penalty
of Rajam, and so did we after him."

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 817:
|
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: I used to teach (the Qur'an to) some
people of the Muhajirln (emigrants), among whom there was 'Abdur Rahman bin
'Auf. While I was in his house at Mina, and he was with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
during 'Umar's last Hajj, Abdur-Rahman came to me and said, "Would that you
had seen the man who came today to the Chief of the Believers ('Umar),
saying, 'O Chief of the Believers! What do you think about so-and-so who
says, 'If 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of allegiance to
such-and-such person, as by Allah, the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr was
nothing but a prompt sudden action which got established afterwards.' 'Umar
became angry and then said, 'Allah willing, I will stand before the people
tonight and warn them against those people who want to deprive the others of
their rights (the question of rulership)." 'Abdur-Rahman said, "I said, 'O
Chief of the believers! Do not do that, for the season of Hajj gathers the
riff-raff and the rubble, and it will be they who will gather around you
when you stand to address the people. And I am afraid that you will get up
and say something, and some people will spread your statement and may not
say what you have actually said and may not understand its meaning, and may
interpret it incorrectly, so you should wait till you reach Medina, as it is
the place of emigration and the place of Prophet's Traditions, and there you
can come in touch with the learned and noble people, and tell them your
ideas with confidence; and the learned people will understand your statement
and put it in its proper place.' On that, 'Umar said, 'By Allah! Allah
willing, I will do this in the first speech I will deliver before the people
in Medina." Ibn Abbas added: We reached Medina by the end of the month of
Dhul-Hijja, and when it was Friday, we went quickly (to the mosque) as soon
as the sun had declined, and I saw Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail
sitting at the corner of the pulpit, and I too sat close to him so that my
knee was touching his knee, and after a short while 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
came out, and when I saw him coming towards us, I said to Said bin Zaid bin
'Amr bin Nufail "Today 'Umar will say such a thing as he has never said
since he was chosen as Caliph." Said denied my statement with astonishment
and said, "What thing do you expect 'Umar to say the like of which he has
never said before?" In the meantime, 'Umar sat on the pulpit and when the
callmakers for the prayer had finished their call, 'Umar stood up, and
having glorified and praised Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then, I am
going to tell you something which (Allah) has written for me to say. I do
not know; perhaps it portends my death, so whoever understands and remembers
it, must narrate it to the others wherever his mount takes him, but if
somebody is afraid that he does not understand it, then it is unlawful for
him to tell lies about me. Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed
the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the
Rajam (the stoning of married person (male & female) who commits illegal
sexual intercourse, and we did recite this Verse and understood and
memorized it. Allah's Apostle did carry out the punishment of stoning and so
did we after him. I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody
will say, 'By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book,'
and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has
revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married
person (male & female), who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the
required evidence is available or there is conception or confession. And
then we used to recite among the Verses in Allah's Book: 'O people! Do not
claim to be the offspring of other than your fathers, as it is disbelief
(unthankfulness) on your part that you claim to be the offspring of other
than your real father.' Then Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not praise me
excessively as Jesus, son of Marry was praised, but call me Allah's Slave
and His Apostles.' (O people!) I have been informed that a speaker amongst
you says, 'By Allah, if 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of
allegiance to such-and-such person.' One should not deceive oneself by
saying that the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was given suddenly
and it was successful. No doubt, it was like that, but Allah saved (the
people) from its evil, and there is none among you who has the qualities of
Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of allegiance to anybody
among you without consulting the other Muslims, neither that person, nor the
person to whom the pledge of allegiance was given, are to be supported, lest
they both should be killed. And no doubt after the death of the Prophet we
were informed that the Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of
Bani Sa'da. 'Ali and Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us, while the
emigrants gathered with Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let's go to these
Ansari brothers of ours.' So we set out seeking them, and when we approached
them, two pious men of theirs met us and informed us of the final decision
of the Ansar, and said, 'O group of Muhajirin (emigrants) ! Where are you
going?' We replied, 'We are going to these Ansari brothers of ours.' They
said to us, 'You shouldn't go near them. Carry out whatever we have already
decided.' I said, 'By Allah, we will go to them.' And so we proceeded until
we reached them at the shed of Bani Sa'da. Behold! There was a man sitting
amongst them and wrapped in something. I asked, 'Who is that man?' They
said, 'He is Sa'd bin 'Ubada.' I asked, 'What is wrong with him?' They said,
'He is sick.' After we sat for a while, the Ansar's speaker said, 'None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and praising Allah as He deserved, he
added, 'To proceed, we are Allah's Ansar (helpers) and the majority of the
Muslim army, while you, the emigrants, are a small group and some people
among you came with the intention of preventing us from practicing this
matter (of caliphate) and depriving us of it.' When the speaker had
finished, I intended to speak as I had prepared a speech which I liked and
which I wanted to deliver in the presence of Abu Bakr, and I used to avoid
provoking him. So, when I wanted to speak, Abu Bakr said, 'Wait a while.' I
disliked to make him angry. So Abu Bakr himself gave a speech, and he was
wiser and more patient than I. By Allah, he never missed a sentence that I
liked in my own prepared speech, but he said the like of it or better than
it spontaneously. After a pause he said, 'O Ansar! You deserve all (the
qualities that you have attributed to yourselves, but this question (of
Caliphate) is only for the Quraish as they are the best of the Arabs as
regards descent and home, and I am pleased to suggest that you choose either
of these two men, so take the oath of allegiance to either of them as you
wish. And then Abu Bakr held my hand and Abu Ubada bin Abdullah's hand who
was sitting amongst us. I hated nothing of what he had said except that
proposal, for by Allah, I would rather have my neck chopped off as expiator
for a sin than become the ruler of a nation, one of whose members is Abu
Bakr, unless at the time of my death my own-self suggests something I don't
feel at present.' And then one of the Ansar said, 'I am the pillar on which
the camel with a skin disease (eczema) rubs itself to satisfy the itching
(i.e., I am a noble), and I am as a high class palm tree! O Quraish. There
should be one ruler from us and one from you.' Then there was a hue and cry
among the gathering and their voices rose so that I was afraid there might
be great disagreement, so I said, 'O Abu Bakr! Hold your hand out.' He held
his hand out and I pledged allegiance to him, and then all the emigrants
gave the Pledge of allegiance and so did the Ansar afterwards. And so we
became victorious over Sa'd bin Ubada (whom Al-Ansar wanted to make a
ruler). One of the Ansar said, 'You have killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' I replied,
'Allah has killed Sa'd bin Ubada.' Umar added, "By Allah, apart from the
great tragedy that had happened to us (i.e. the death of the Prophet), there
was no greater problem than the allegiance pledged to Abu Bakr because we
were afraid that if we left the people, they might give the Pledge of
allegiance after us to one of their men, in which case we would have given
them our consent for something against our real wish, or would have opposed
them and caused great trouble. So if any person gives the Pledge of
allegiance to somebody (to become a Caliph) without consulting the other
Muslims, then the one he has selected should not be granted allegiance, lest
both of them should be killed."

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid: A bedouin came
to the Prophet while he (the Prophet) was sitting, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Give your verdict according to Allah's Laws (in our case)." Then
his opponent got up and said, "He has told the truth, O Allah's Apostle!
Decide his case according to Allah's Laws. My son was a laborer working for
this person, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and
the people told me that my son should be stoned to death, but I offered
one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom for him. Then I asked the
religious learned people, and they told me that my son should be flogged
with one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year." The Prophet said, "By
Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according to Allah's Laws.
The sheep and the slave girl will be returned to you and your son will be
flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year. And you, O Unais! Go
to the wife of this man (and if she confesses), stone her to death." So
Unais went in the morning and stoned her to death (after she had confessed).

|
Narrated Abu Huraira and Said bin Khalid: The verdict of
Allah's Apostle was sought about an unmarried slave girl guilty of illegal
intercourse. He replied, "If she commits illegal sexual intercourse, then
flog her (fifty stripes), and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse
(after that for the second time), then flog her (fifty stripes), and if she
commits illegal sexual intercourse (for the third time), then flog her
(fifty stripes) and sell her for even a hair rope." Ibn Shihab said, "I am
not sure whether the Prophet ordered that she be sold after the third or
fourth time of committing illegal intercourse."

|
Narrated Ash-Shaibani: I asked 'Abdullah bin Abi 'Aufa
about the Rajam (stoning somebody to death for committing illegal sexual
intercourse). He replied, "The Prophet carried out the penalty of Rajam," I
asked, "Was that before or after the revelation of Surat-an-Nur?" He
replied, "I do not know."
|
|
|
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 825:
|
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: The jews came to Allah's
Apostle and mentioned to him that a man and a lady among them had committed
illegal sexual intercourse. Allah's Apostle said to them, "What do you find
in the Torah regarding the Rajam?" They replied, "We only disgrace and flog
them with stripes." 'Abdullah bin Salam said to them, 'You have told a lie
the penalty of Rajam is in the Torah.' They brought the Torah and opened it.
One of them put his hand over the verse of the Rajam and read what was
before and after it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him, "Lift up your hand."
Where he lifted it there appeared the verse of the Rajam. So they said, "O
Muhammad! He has said the truth, the verse of the Rajam is in it (Torah)."

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid: Two men had a
dispute in the presence of Allah's Apostle. One of them said, "Judge us
according to Allah's Laws." The other who was more wise said, "Yes, Allah's
Apostle, judge us according to Allah's Laws and allow me to speak (first)"
The Prophet said to him, 'Speak " He said, "My son was a laborer for this
man, and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife, and the
people told me that my son should be stoned to death, but I have given
one-hundred sheep and a slave girl as a ransom (expiation) for my son's sin.
Then I asked the religious learned people (about It), and they told me that
my son should he flogged one-hundred stripes and should be exiled for one
year, and only the wife of this man should be stoned to death " Allah's
Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge you according
to Allah's Laws: O man, as for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be
returned to you." Then the Prophet had the man's son flogged one hundred
stripes and exiled for one year, and ordered Unais Al-Aslami to go to the
wife of the other man, and if she confessed, stone her to death. She
confessed and was stoned to death.

took the man to the Prophet and the man told him about the incident. The man
(husband) was of yellow complexion, thin, and of lank hair, while the man
whom he had accused of having been with his wife, was reddish brown with fat
thick legs and fat body. The Prophet said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth."
Later on the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom the husband had
accused of having been with her. So the Prophet made them take the oath of
Lian. A man said to Ibn Abbas in the gathering, "Was that the same lady
about whom the Prophet said, "If I were to stone any lady (for committing
illegal sexual intercourse) to death without witnesses, I would have stoned
that lade to death?" Ibn Abbas said, "No, that was another lady who used to
behave in such a suspicious way among the Muslims that one might accuse her
of committing illegal sexual intercourse."
