Is stoning one of the Hudud (prescribed punishments) of Allah, and did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stone according to Jewish law before the revelation of Surat An-Nur? And what is the extent of the authenticity of the statement attributed to Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him: "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stoned, Abu Bakr stoned, and I stoned, and I fear that a time will come when it will be said: 'We do not find stoning in the Book of Allah!' I almost wrote it on the margin of the Mushaf were it not for the fear of it being said: 'Something has been added to the Qur’an'"?

The stoning of thean adulterer who is محصن (married/previously married) is established by the Sunnah, both through sayings and actions, and by the consensus of scholars. It was among the verses of the Quran whose recitation was abrogated while its ruling remained. This is supported by the statement of Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him: "Indeed, Allah sent Muhammad with the truth, and He revealed the Book to him. Among what was revealed to him was the verse of stoning. We recited it, understood it, and memorized it. The Messenger of Allah (peace be blessings of Allah be upon him) stoned, and we stoned after him." This refutes the claim that stoning was according to Jewish law before the revelation of Surat An-Nur.
