Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجَمَ يَهُودِيًّا وَيَهُودِيَّةً ‏ .‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَالْبَرَاءِ وَجَابِرٍ وَابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ جَزْءٍ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ قَالُوا إِذَا اخْتَصَمَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ وَتَرَافَعُوا إِلَى حُكَّامِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَكَمُوا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْكِتَابِ وَالسُّنَّةِ وَبِأَحْكَامِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ يُقَامُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْحَدُّ فِي الزِّنَا ‏.‏ وَالْقَوْلُ الأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ ‏.‏

The Prophet stoned a Jewish man and a Jewish woman. This is also reported from Ibn ʿUmar, al-Barāʾ, Jābir, Ibn Abī Awfā, ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥārith ibn Juzʾ, and Ibn ʿAbbās. The report from Jābir ibn Samurah is ḥasan gharīb. Most scholars held that when People of the Book bring a dispute before Muslim judges, the judges decide between them according to the Book, Sunnah, and Muslim legal rulings. This was Aḥmad and Isḥāq’s view. Others said the prescribed punishment for adultery is not applied to them; the first view is more sound.
