Hadith 5:414

Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Mujalid, 'Amir narrated to us, he said: Sharaha had a husband who was absent in Ash-Sham, and she became pregnant. Her master brought her to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and said: "This woman has committed adultery and has confessed." So he flogged her one hundred lashes on Thursday, and he stoned her on Friday. He dug a hole for her up to her navel, and I was a witness. Then he said: "Indeed, stoning is a Sunnah established by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. If anyone had testified against her, he would have been the first to throw; the witness testifies, then follows his testimony with his stone. But she confessed, so I am the first to throw at her." He threw a stone at her, then the people threw, and I was among them. He said: "And I was, by Allah, among those who killed her."

حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، عن مجالد، حدثنا عامر، قال: كان لشراحة زوج غائب بالشام، وإنها حملت، فجاء بها مولاها إلى علي بن أبي طالب، فقال: إن هذه زنت فاعترفت، فجلدها يوم الخميس مائة، ورجمها يوم الجمعة، وحفر لها إلى السرة وأنا شاهد، ثم قال: " إن الرجم سنة سنها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولو كان شهد على هذه أحد لكان أول من يرمي، الشاهد يشهد، ثم يتبع شهادته حجره، ولكنها أقرت، فأنا أول من رماها، فرماها بحجر، ثم رمى الناس، وأنا فيهم " قال: " فكنت والله فيمن قتلها "
