AlBaqir:


# And anyone wey original husband or wife caught will see beating of the century or get killed.

# On a more serious note, do you know how the process of stoning to death is usually carried out? A film titled "stoning of suraya" captured it. Its horrible and terrifying. The accused will be buried halfway to his/her waist, his/her hands will be bind and people will be furious stoning him/her until the last breathe. What a criminally punishment.

# Today, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and some other Muslim's countries have replaced "stoning" with imprisonment and some other form of punishment. The last case I read of, in either Qatar or Jordan, the woman was sentenced to imprisonment. Prison reformed her to the extent that she was released as Hafiz al-Qur'an. Indeed, Allah's door for repentance is widely OPEN.
Yes, I think I heard that. My arguments all the time about this is to inform them this is Judea/Christian law and they need to apply it. They have no right whatsoever so talk trash about Islam in this case.

Muslims however need to let that law go bcus it doesn't belong here. It is theirs black and white and active in their scriptures. That's my target all along.

However, let's assume flogging is legal punishment. I think it is not just deterrent. It is also alternative(to divorce) to relieve husband or wife of the pains and sufferings they go through rather than going through divorce. But today, as you rightly said, the thief gets the worse possible beating of his life if not killed in the process. And in many cases husband or wife want to go through divorce rather than forgive.

The number of wittiness that they must see the facts in action made it so. If 4 people give witness and the 5 deny it that is all.


So how then can 5 pious people at same time witness such act? It is a deterrent.
I know. Deterrent is not the subject of discussion but application

Wallahi its hilarious to me. Obviously, Mr sino seem not to know what to copy-paste sometimes or he's very lazy to read and pinpoint the dangers some authors will create for him in the long run. Remember he once accused me of using derogatory term on Umar (in my thread about Umar's contributions in Battle) yet on that same thread he copy-pasted an author that used a more derogatory terms for Umar while defending him.




AlBaqir:


# So, the sheik did not believe in those ahadith in sahih Bukhari (Umar's narration), and Abu Dawud (Aisha's narration)?!

# Obviously, the sheik knew the danger in believing those ahadith therefore made a fastest run by rejecting them. Poor him.

# Empiree, se una see world's eyes (oju aye)?

"Did Caliph Umar actually think some verse was missing?

Most certainly Caliph Umar knew well and understood that the particular words 'When a married man or woman commit adultery, stone them (to death)'are not meant to be the part of the actual text of the Holy Quran. This is clear from another tradition in which he said:

"Had it not been that people would say Umar has made an addition to the Book of Allah, I would have written it on the margin of the Quran."(Musnad Ahmad Hadith 151. Ahmad Shakir classified it as Sahih)

And according to the wording in Sunan Nasai Al-Kubra Hadith 7151 , he said 'I would have written and appended it to the Quran.'

Now idea of writing at the margin of the Quran or adding as an appendix clearly shows that he only meant to add it as side note or commentary to the Quran to tell the future generations explicitly about the punishment of stoning whom he feared rejecting this commandment and going astray.

The above detail makes it absolutely clear that never was there any verse about stoning a part of the Quranic text."



Your constant attack on my presentations (which are duly referenced) only shows your desperation, and your inadequacies with respect to knowledge and the means to acquiring knowledge. It is a shame you couldn’t go to the links to read and understand the view of the author/the Sheikh, it is then even worse and pathetic that you couldn’t comprehend the excerpts I had presented here (as well as the reason for presenting it here).

I cannot help your deliberate misrepresentation and mistranslation of hadiths, you pick a hadith at random and form opinions without recourse to other narrations with same theme, which is never the way of people of knowledge.

I’ll advise you again, READ!

Oga Ade! Umar's (RA) statement in my post already cleared the air. If Umar (ra) himself would rather not write on the margins or like a footnote, then it was not meant to be part of the Qur'anic text. Umar (ra) said it was a revelation, and they memorized it, He didn't say it was part of the Qur'an, or is the Qur'an the only revelation to the Prophet (SAW)?! The narration which you are pointing to had already been analysed, go to the link and read!

Yorubas would say, "Ogbon ologbon ni kii je a pe agba ni were" , and in research, you look into previous studies to learn, critic, or agree. You have been doing your own independent thinking based on one or two narrations, coupled with your obvious prejudices, and you want everyone to follow such path?! I am open-minded, and I read a lot once a topic interests me, unlike you, I am not afraid to read, understand a view/opinion, and then decide what the truth is based on the strength of the argument and evidences provided.

grin grin grin Now I see how confused you are. He yah. Read the words of your lord Umar once again:


# Imam Bukhari documents:

Ibn Abbas reported Umar ibn al-Khattab to have made the following long sermon:


"...Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the VERSE OF THE RAJAM (the stoning of married person (male & female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did recite this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah's Messenger (s) did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him. I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say, 'By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah's Book,' and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married person (male & female), who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the required evidence is available or there is conception or confession...

Reference  : Sahih al-Bukhari 6830 
In-book reference  : Book 86, Hadith 57 
USC-MSA web (English) reference  : Vol. 8, Book 82, Hadith 817

* Are you kidding me Mr sino? grin grin This is a plain blue black, and your desperation can never make it yellow.


# Aishah, prior to Umar had said the same thing:

Imam ibn Majah documents:

It was narrated that 'Aishah said:

The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.”

You are not different from the ignoramus who picks an ayah in the Qur'an about killing the disbelievers, and starts shouting all over the place that Muslims are terrorists and the Qur'an confirms it, Allah had instructed them to kill non-Muslims. One other similarity again is that, no matter how you want to help their self-inflicted ignorance, they remain stubborn and obnoxious...

I do not know where you now know better than Umar (ra) himself, when he (ra) had already explained that the verse of stoning was never part of the Qur'an to start with...Let me help with relevant narrations:

"It is reported in a narration from Kathir bin Salt that: Zaid (b. Thabit) said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say, 'When a married man or woman commit adultery stone them both (to death)', (hearing this) Amr said,
'When this was revealed I came to Prophet and asked if I could write it, he (the Prophet) disliked it.' (Mustadrik Al-Hakim, Hadith 8184. Hakim called it Sahih. al-Dhahbi agreed with him)

About this 'verse' Kathir bin Salt says that he, Zaid bin Thabit and Marwan bin Hakam were discussing as to why it is not written in the Quranic manuscript and Umar bin Khattab was present with them and listening to their discussion he said he knew it better then them and told them that he came to Messenger of Allah and said:

"'O Messenger of Allah, let the verse about stoning be written for me.' He (the Prophet) said, 'I can't do this.'" (Sunan Al-Kubra Baihiqi 8/211 & Sunan Al-Kubra Nasai Hadith 7148. Albani (in Sahiha 6/412) said Baihiqi pointed to its authenticity)"


"Umar (ra) said:

"Had it not been that people would say Umar has made an addition to the Book of Allah, I would have written it on the margin of the Quran."(Musnad Ahmad Hadith 151. Ahmad Shakir classified it as Sahih)

And according to the wording in Sunan Nasai Al-Kubra Hadith 7151 , he said 'I would have written and appended it to the Quran.' "

Now the above narrations put everything into proper perspective, Umar (ra) never claimed the verse of stoning was part of the Qur'an at any given time, he himself wouldn't even try to add it as a footnote or appendix. Just as he feared, and how the Jews and Christians abandoned it, although it was A VERSE REVEALED IN THE TORAH, which we Muslims also believe to be a revelation, some Muslims are also criticizing it and running away from it, saying it is not in the Qur'an!

Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an about the Prophet (SAW), "he does not speak out of desire, but a revelation that is revealed". So if stoning of the adulterous is established from the Prophet (SAW), and you do not have any concrete evidence that proves otherwise, other than your independent thinking and desire, then you should be asking yourself if you are indeed a believer in the Prophet (SAW) and the message of Islam....

Authenticity of the narration:

Whenever we have a narration we ought to see whether it is authentic or not? The narration infact has some problems.
The particular chain given in Sunan Ibn Majah finds one of the narrators Muhammad bin Ishaq narrating it using the word عن ('an) which is rather an ambiguous way of narration and renders the narration weak when used by a narrator known for practicing Tadlis [practice of subtly missing a link] and Muhammad Ibn Ishaq is indeed such a narrator. Thus through particular chain of narration in Sunan Ibn Majah the narration is weak and unauthentic due the above mentioned defect though it has other issues as well as mentioned in the lines to follow. This is clarified by Shaykh Muhammad Taqi Usmani in Takmala Fath Al-Mulhim 1/69 pub. Darul Ahya Al-Turath Al-Arabi, Beirut.

In Musnad Ahmad the same narration is given through the same chain but with an explicit way of narration i.e. it does not have the defect like the narration in Ibn Majah’s collection. But the narration is exposed to more criticism because many other narrators have related from 'Aisha (RA) about the suckling/breastfeeding but no one has narrated the words found in this chain even though the narrators in those cases are more reliable and consistent than Muhammad bin Ishaq. And due to thefact of these words being narrated solely by him and in defiance to other much more reliable narrators, scholars have questioned its authenticity. Shaykh Shu’aib Arnaut has classified it as Da’if in his classification of Musnad Ahmad. See Musnad Ahmad 6/269 Hadith 26359.

Keep on with your independent thinking and cherry-picking of hadiths, it only shows your deficiencies, and raises a LARGE question mark on your sincerity....

# MOVING FROM DESPERATION TO KUFR

Initially you ignorantly and stubbornly claimed "verse of stoning" was just a "revelation" and not "verse of the Qur'an". I guess the confession of Umar made you stylishly retracted.

# Now you are on the gun saying "though it was a verse but Nabi declined to record the verse in the Qur'an @underline relying on a bogus Hadith.

Imam Ibn Kathir writes:

(And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message.) It means, if you hide only ONE AYAH THAT WAS REVEALED TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD, then you have not conveyed His Message.

www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=755

Imam Bukhari also documents similar thing:

Narrated `Aisha:

Whoever tells that Muhammad concealed part of what was revealed to him, is a liar, for Allah says:-- "O Apostle
(Muhammad)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord." (5.67)


USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 136

# I don't think I have much to say any longer for obviously your desperation is fast moving towards KUFR.

# Who is Muhammad Ibn Ishaq? It is very strange how your crooked website quickly rushed to grade the Hadith "daif" because of "Tadlees" of Muhammad ibn Ishaq. A lot is said about him, and about his "tadlees" here:
https://islamqa.info/en/148009


# For your information, according to other Sunni scholar, the Hadith of Aisha in Ibn Majah about "verse of stoning and suckling adult" is Hasan (good). See:

Grade : Hasan (Darussalam)

English reference : Vol. 3, Book 9, Hadith 1944
Arabic reference : Book 9, Hadith 2020
http://sunnah.com/ibnmajah/9


# One of the reason (out of many) for grading the hadith Hasan is because its matn (content) is corroborated by other sahih ahadith. Popular example is the Hadith in sahih Bukhari where Umar declared that "verse of stoning" is part of Quranic revelations. And in sahih Muslim, book of suckling adults, corroborate the part of "suckling" in the Hadith. The only ambiguous wording that made those scholars who grade the Hadith "weak" is "...and goat eat it (the paper)", while another version says, "... a tame sheep eat it". Search Islamqa on that.

In short, the Hadith is 50-50. However, it does not important, in fact, it's of no use so long the testimony of Umar himself is still 100% in sahih Bukhari


# Imam Ali al-Muttaqi al-Hindi also documents:

Ibn Mardawayh reported that Hudhayfah said:

Umar said to me ‘How many verses are contained in the chapter of al-Ahzab?’ I said, ’72 or 73 verses.’ He said it was almost as long as the chapter of the Cow, which contains 287 verses, and in it there was the verse of stoning
