The Prophet asked them. "What is the legal punishment (for this sin) in your Book (Torah)?" They replied, "'''Our priests have innovated the punishment of blackening the faces with charcoal and Tajbiya'''." 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "O Allah's Apostle, tell them to bring the Torah."

On that, Ibn Salam said to the Jew, "Lift up your hand." Behold! The Divine Verse of the Rajam was under his hand. So '''Allah's Apostle ordered that the two (sinners) be stoned to death, and so they were stoned.''' Ibn 'Umar added: So both of them were stoned at the Balat and I saw the Jew sheltering the Jewess. }} | {{Quote|{{Bukhari|8|82|809}}, See also: {{Bukhari|6|60|79}}, and {{Bukhari|4|56|829}}|Narrated Ibn 'Umar: A Jew and a Jewess were brought to Allah's Apostle on a charge of committing an illegal sexual intercourse.
