Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said:Verily Allah sent Muhammad (ﷺ) with truth and He sent down the Book upon him, and the verse of stoning was included in what was sent down to him. We recited it, retained it in our memory and understood it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and, after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proof is established, or it there is pregnancy, or a confession

حدثني ابو الطاهر، وحرملة بن يحيى، قالا حدثنا ابن وهب، اخبرني يونس، عن ابن شهاب، قال اخبرني عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، انه سمع عبد الله بن عباس، يقول قال عمر بن الخطاب وهو جالس على منبر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ان الله قد بعث محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم بالحق وانزل عليه الكتاب فكان مما انزل عليه اية الرجم قراناها ووعيناها وعقلناها فرجم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ورجمنا بعده فاخشى ان طال بالناس زمان ان يقول قايل ما نجد الرجم في كتاب الله فيضلوا بترك فريضة انزلها الله وان الرجم في كتاب الله حق على من زنى اذا احصن من الرجال والنساء اذا قامت البينة او كان الحبل او الاعتراف
