The Jews came to Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) and told him that a man and a woman from amongst them had committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "What do you find in the Taurât [Torah (Old Testament)] as regarding the legal punishment of Ar-Rajm (i.e. stoning to death those married persons who commit the crime of illegal sexual intercourse)? They replied, "(but) we announce their crime and lash them. Abdullâh bin Salâm said, "You are telling a lie; the Taurât (Torah) contains the order of Rajm." They brought and opened the Taurât (Torah) and one of them placed his hand on the verse of Rajm and read the verses preceding and following it. 'Abdullah bin Salâm said to him, "Lift your hand." When he lifted his hand, the verse of Rajm was written there. They said, "Muḥammad () has told the truth; the Taurât (Torah) has the verse of Rajm." The Prophet (ﷺ) then gave the order that both of them should be stoned to death. [4:829-O.B]
