STONING TO DEATH IN SAHIH AL-BUKHARI
Below are the three narrations on the penalty of stoning, from the famous book of the Prophetic Traditions and Narrations known as Sahih Al-Bukhari:
Hadith No. 4.829: When a Jew and a Jewess who had committed the illegal sexual intercourse were brought before the Prophet (s.a.s.), he ordered them to be punished according to their Jewish laws that are recorded in the Torah. The couple was stoned to death. This Hadith was narrated by Abdullah bin Umar.
Hadith No. 8.805: A married man from the tribe of Bani Aslam who had committed illegal sexual intercourse and bore witnesses four times against himself was ordered by the Prophet (s.a.s) to be stoned to death.
This Hadith was narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari.
Hadith No. 8.804: Ash Shaibani narrates that when he asked ‘Abdullah bin Abi Aufa; “Did Allah’s Apostle carry out the penalty of Rajam (i.e., stoning to death)?” He said, “Yes”. When the narrator asked; “Before the revelation of Surah-an-Nur or after it?” He replied, “I don’t know.” This Hadith is narrated by Ash Shaibani and is repeated one more time under Hadith No. 8: 824

QUR’AN VERSUS HADITH
- The Surah-an-Nur (i.e. Chapter 24 of the Qur’an, in which the penalty of flogging is prescribed) was Revealed in or after the sixth year of Prophet’s migration from Mekkah to the city of Medinah. This is confirmed by verses 11 to 20. It is inconceivable that the Prophet, who has been declared by Allah as the best of the examples for Muslims, could have dictated his own edict after the revelation of Surah-an-Nur, which was delivered to mankind through him.
- It is a known fact that before the promulgation of the Quranic Laws, the Prophet and his followers used to follow many of the Abrahamic Traditions and the Law of Moses. Once the specific Law of the Qur’an was Revealed to the Prophet in that matter, the ancient traditions and laws became null and void.
- The Hadith No. 5: 805 does speak of a married man being “stoned to death” but it does not specify the period when that penalty was confirmed. Before or after the Revelation of Allah’s Law. One cannot use this example of “a married individual” and interpret it to be applied to the Revealed verse and then Create the distinction between the act of adultery and the fornication.
- There is NO recorded authentic Narration in which the Prophet has made a ruling or given the directive that there is to be observed a distinction or inequality between the “married persons” and “unmarried individuals” when the penalty for the illegal sexual intercourse is to be applied. Nor, there is any explicit directive or a command of the Prophet asking the followers that the Revealed Verse of “flogging” is ONLY for the “unmarried individuals”.
- Why is the Islamic Sharia Law NOT applied to the MALE individual in this particular case (Amina Lawal of Nigeria)? The Court is required to have Four Witnesses to the act of Adultery, to pass the Judgment. The Court needed no Witness in case of the mother, because she had given birth to the girl (Wasiya) and that was the sufficient Witness. Why not use the blood of that same girl as the Witness for the Father? Today it is not difficult to identify the Father with the DNA a test, after Amina having named the Father. Is NOT the Nigerian Sharia Law BIASED?
