Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman ibn Yasar
from Abu Waqid al-Laythi that a man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab while
he was in ash-Sham . He mentioned to him that he had found a man with
his wife Umar sent Abu Waqid al-Laythi to the wife to question her
about that. He came to her while there were women around her and
mentioned to her what her husband had mentioned to Umar ibn al-
Khattab, and informed her that she would not be punished on his word
and began to suggest to her by that, that she should retract. She
refused to retract and held firm to confession. Umar gave the order
and she was stoned.

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah
ibn Utba ibn Masud that Abdullah ibn Abbas said, "I heard Umar ibn al-
Khattab say, 'Stoning is in the Book of Allah for those who commit
adultery, men or women when they are muhsan and when there is clear
proof of pregnancy or a confession.' "

Malik related to me that Yahya ibn Said heard Said ibn al-
Musayyab say, "When Umar ibn al-Khattab came from Mina, he made his
camel kneel at al-Abtah, and then he gathered a pile of small stones
and cast his cloak over them and dropped to the ground. Then he raised
his hands to the sky and said, 'O Allah! I have become old and my
strength has weakened. My flock is scattered. Take me to You with
nothing missed out and without having neglected anything.' Then he
went to Madina and addressed the people. He said, 'People! Sunan have
been laid down for you. Obligations have been placed upon you. You
have been left with a clear way unless you lead people astray right
and left.' He struck one of his hands on the other and then said,
'Take care lest you destroy the ayat of stoning so that one will say,
"We do not find two hadds in the Book of Allah." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stoned, so we have
stoned. By He in Whose Hand my self is, had it not been that people
would say that Umar ibn al-Khattab has added to the Book of Allah ta-
ala, we would have written it, "The full-grown man and the full-grown
woman, stone them absolutely." We have certainly recited that.'"
