Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
After Muhammad’s death, the Caliph Umar gave his inaugural address to the gathered Muslim community in Medina. Of all the topics he could have chosen, Umar decided to devote this historic sermon to the adultery penalty:
Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the holy book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the verse of Rajam (the stoning of married persons, male and female, who commit adultery) 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’s Book”, we do not find the Verse of Rajam in Allah’s Book, and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed.
Question is, where is this verse ? If the quran does not prescribe stoning for adultery, why is it part of sharia law ?
