باب الرَّجْمِ بِالْمُصَلَّى
Sahih al-Bukhari 6820

Narrated Jabir:

A man from the tribe of Aslam came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and confessed that he had committed an illegal
sexual intercourse. The Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face away from him till the man bore witness against
himself four times. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, “Are you mad?” He said “No.” He said, “Are you
married?” He said, “Yes.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that he be stoned to death, and he was stoned to
death at the Musalla. When the stones troubled him, he fled, but he was caught and was stoned till he
died. The Prophet (ﷺ) spoke well of him and offered his funeral prayer.

حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ أَسْلَمَ جَاءَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاعْتَرَفَ بِالزِّنَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ‏.‏ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ ‏”‏‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ آحْصَنْتَ ‏”‏‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ بِالْمُصَلَّى، فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ فَرَّ، فَأُدْرِكَ فَرُجِمَ حَتَّى مَاتَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَيْرًا وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ‏.‏ لَمْ يَقُلْ يُونُسُ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ‏.‏
سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : ” فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ يَصِحُّ ” . قَالَ : رَوَاهُ مَعْمَرٌ ، قِيلَ لَهُ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ مَعْمَرٍ ، قَالَ : لَا
