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.

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.")

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

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."

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.

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

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

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."

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

if she commits illegal sexual intercourse (for the third
time), then flog her (fifty stripes) and sell her for

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)." Then Allah's Apostle ordered that the
two persons (guilty of illegal sexual intercourse) be
stoned to death, and so they were stoned, and I saw the
man bending over the woman so as to protect her from the
stones.

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.

husband said, "If I kept her, I would be a liar." I
remember that Az-Zubair also said, "(It was said) that
if that woman brought forth the child with such-and-such
description, her husband would prove truthful, but if
she brought it with such-and-such description looking
like a Wahra (a red insect), he would prove untruthful."

statement." So he 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."

and said, "He has spoken the truth. So judge us
according to Allah's Laws and please allow me (to
speak), O Allah's Apostle." The Prophet said, "Speak."
He said, "My son was a laborer for the family of this
man and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his
wife, and I gave one-hundred sheep and a slave as a
ransom (for my son), but I asked the religious learned
people (regarding this case), and they informed me that
my son should be flogged one-hundred stripes, and be
exiled for one year, and the wife of this man should be
stoned (to death)."The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose
Hand my soul is, I will Judge you (in this case)
according to Allah's Laws. The one-hundred (sheep) and
the slave shall be returned to you and your son shall be
flogged one-hundred stripes and be exiled for one year.
And O Unais! Go in the morning to the wife of this man
and ask her, and if she confesses, stone her to death."
She confessed and he stoned her to death.
