English Translation

Isma'il told us, Ayyub told us, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar: that the Jews came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with a man and a woman of theirs who had committed adultery. He said: "What do you find in your Book?" They said: "We blacken their faces and disgrace them." He said: "You have lied; indeed it contains stoning. Bring the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful." So they brought the Torah, and brought a reciter of theirs, one-eyed, called Ibn Suriya. He recited until, when he reached a certain place in it, he put his hand over it. It was said to him: "Raise your hand." He raised his hand, and there it appeared clearly. He, or they, said: "O Muhammad, indeed it contains stoning, but we used to conceal it among ourselves." So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered them to be stoned, and they were stoned. He said: I indeed saw him leaning over her, shielding her from the stones with himself.
