Urdu Translation

براء بن عازب رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ   رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس سے لوگ ایک یہودی کو لے کر گزرے جس کو ہاتھ منہ کالا کر کے گھمایا جا رہا تھا، تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان سے اللہ کا واسطہ دے کر پوچھا کہ ان کی کتاب میں زانی کی حد کیا ہے؟ ان لوگوں نے آپ کو اپنے میں سے ایک شخص کی طرف اشارہ کر کے پوچھنے کے لیے کہا تو نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس سے اللہ کا واسطہ دے کر پوچھا کہ تمہاری کتاب میں زانی کی حد کیا ہے؟ تو اس نے کہا: رجم ہے، لیکن زنا کا جرم ہمارے معزز لوگوں میں عام ہو گیا، تو ہم نے یہ پسند نہیں کیا کہ معزز اور شریف آدمی کو چھوڑ دیا جائے اور جو ایسے نہ ہوں ان پر حد جاری کی جائے، تو ہم نے اس حکم ہی کو اپنے اوپر سے اٹھا لیا، چنانچہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اسے رجم کا حکم دیا تو وہ رجم کر دیا گیا، پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اے اللہ! میں وہ پہلا شخص ہوں جس نے تیری کتاب میں سے اس حکم کو زندہ کیا ہے جس پر لوگوں نے عمل چھوڑ دیا تھا ۔

English Translation

Al-Bara bin Azib said: The people passed by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم with a jew whose face blackened with charcoal and he was being taken around. He adjured them by Allah and asked: What is the prescribed punishment for a fornicator in your Divine book? He (the narrator) said: They referred him to a man of them. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم adjured him and asked: What is the punishment for a fornication in your Divine Book? He replied: Stoning. But fornication spread among our people of rank, so we disliked that a person of rank should be left alone and the punishment be inflicted on one who is lower in rank than him. So we suspended it for us. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then commanded regarding him and he was stoned to death. He then said: O Allah! I am the first to give life to a command of Thy Book which they had killed.
