حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَجَابِرٍ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَنَادَاهُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ⦗١٨٧⦘ حتَّى رَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ؛ فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ دَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ قَالَ: لَا قَالَ: فَهَلْ أَحْصَنْتَ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُ، فَرَجَمْنَاهُ بِالْمُصَلَّى؛ فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ هَرَبَ، فَأَدْرَكْنَاهُ بِالْحَرَّةِ، فَرَجَمْنَاهُ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
A man came to Allâh's Messenger ﷺ while he was in the mosque, and he called him, saying, "O Allâh's Messenger! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face to the other side, but that man repeated his statement four times, and after he bore witness against himself four times, the Prophet ﷺ called him, saying, "Are you mad?" The man said, "No (I am not mad)." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you married?" The man said, "Yes." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Take him away and stone him to death."Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "I was among the ones who participated in stoning him, and we stoned him at the Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but we overtook him at Al-Harra and stoned him to death." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 806, Vol. 8)
