The Third Proof placed by Khawarijeen to prove their claim:
They say that we agree that stoning to death was done during the period of Risaalat e Nabwi sallallahu
alaihi wasallam but it was before the revelation of this Aayat e Quran, hence it has to be abrogated.
Our Answer to their Claim:
While the Khawarijeen too agree that stoning to death was conducted during Risaalat e Nabwi Shareef, it
is a proof that the Hadeeth in this regard is true and they need to accept that the Rajam was conducted
even after the revelation of this Aayat e Quran by the following proofs:
Aayat e Quran: 24-2: ٍةَﺪْﻠَﺟ َﺔَﺌِﻣ ﺎَﻤُﻬْﻨﱢﻣ ٍﺪِﺣاَو ﱠﻞُآ اوُﺪِﻠْﺟﺎَﻓ ﻲِﻧاﱠﺰﻟاَو ُﺔَﻴِﻧاﱠﺰﻟا
Was revealed at the episode of Afak after returning from the battle of Banu Mustalaq in 5 Hijri, while the
narrator of the hadeeth Rajam Hazrat Maa’iz has heard it from Hazrat Ibn e Abbas, who migrated from
Makkah to Madinah during 9 Hijri. The translation of the hadeeth is as follows:
Hazrat e A’krama raziallahu anh narrated that he heard from Hazrat Abbas raziallahu anh that Sahaaby
Maai’z bin Malik raziallahu anh came to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam and acknowledged that he
committed adultery. Huzoor e Paak sallallahu alaihi wasallam said to him; might be you just kissed or
you just gave indication (and because of your piety you might have thought it is adultery), but Hazrat
Maai’z raziallahu anh said that it is not so. Then Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam enquired; did you
really commit adultery? Then Hazrat Maaiz raziallahu anhum accepted that he did so. Only then
Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam has ordered that he should be stoned to death.
The second Hadeeth of Rajam is narrated by Hazrat Abu Huraira who accepted Islam in 7 Hijri. His
Hadeeth is as follows:
I was told by Hazrat Obeidullah that he heard from Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid that we were in the
company of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam and a person (petitioner) got up and said; For Allah’s
sake make judgment according to the book of Allah. Then another person who was (defendant) got up and
said: Ya Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam please make judgment between us according to the Book
of Allah and please allow me to tell about our case. Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam permitted him
to say. He said my son was working on wages with this man and he committed adultery with this man’s
wife. After knowing this I gave one hundred sheep to him and freed a slave. Later when I enquired with
the knowledgeable, they told me that my son will be lashed hundred times and he will be sent out of town
for a year and this man’s wife had to be stoned to death. Upon hearing this case, Rasoolullah sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said to them Upon Allah in Whose Hand is my life, I shall give the judgment according to
the Book of Allah and ordered that the hundred sheep and the slave shall be given back to the defendant
and his son shall be lashed hundred times and shall be sent out of the city for a year. Then he addressed
Hazrat Anees raziallahu anh and said to him to go to that woman and enquire if she is accepting to
commit adultery. If the woman accepts so, then she shall be stoned to death. Later the woman accepted to
commiting the sin and she was stoned to death.
The above Hadeeth clearly indicates that the judgment of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam to stone
the woman to death was after the year 7 Hijri when Hazrat Abu Huraira was present and the above Aayat
e Quran was revealed in the year 5 Hijri. So the claim of the Khawarijeen that no stoning to death was
carried out after this aayat e Quran.
Look upon the underlined words stated by Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam that his judgment will
be according to the Book of Allah, even if it is not mentioned in Quran and His ordering of Rajam even
