Chapter 86: Limits and Punishments set by Allah (Hudood)
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 Messenger (ﷺ) carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him."
