When Umar bin Khattab set out from Mina, he made his camel kneel at Abtah, then heaped up a mound of pebbly earth, threw his cloak over it, and lay back. He stretched out his hands toward the sky and said, "Allah, my years have grown many, my strength has weakened, and my subjects have spread far and wide. Take me to Yourself without my having wasted or neglected anything."Then he came to Madinah and addressed the people. He said, "People, the practices have been established for you, the obligations have been prescribed for you, and you have been left upon a clear path, unless you lead people astray to the right and to the left." And he struck one of his hands against the other.Then he said, "Beware of destroying yourselves by neglecting the verse of stoning, so that someone says, 'We do not find two punishments in the Book of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried out stoning, and we have carried it out. By Him in whose hand my soul rests, were it not that people would say Umar bin Khattab added to the Book of Allah Most High, I would have written it in: 'The old man and the old woman, stone them both without fail,' for we used to recite it."Malik reported that Yahya bin Saeed said that Saeed bin Musayab said, "Dhul-Hijjah had not yet run out before Umar, may Allah have mercy on him, was killed."Yahya said, "I heard it said concerning the words 'the old man and the old woman, stone them both without fail' that it means the man and the woman who have been married."
حدثني مالك عن يحيى بن سعيد
لما صدر عمر بن الخطاب من منى أناخ بالأبطح ثم كوم كومة بطحاء ثم طرح عليها رداءه واستلقى ثم مد يديه إلى السماء فقال اللهم كبرت سني وضعفت قوتي وانتشرت رعيتي فاقبضني إليك غير مضيع ولا مفرط ثم قدم المدينة فخطب الناس فقال أيها الناس قد سنت لكم السنن وفرضت لكم الفرائض وتركتم على الواضحة إلا أن تضلوا بالناس يمينا وشمالا وضرب بإحدى يديه على الأخرى ثم قال إياكم أن تهلكوا عن آية الرجم أن يقول قائل لا نجد حدين في كتاب الله فقد رجم رسول الله ﷺ ورجمنا والذي نفسي بيده لولا أن يقول الناس زاد عمر بن الخطاب في كتاب الله تعالى لكتبتها الشيخ والشيخة فارجموهما ألبتة فإنا قد قرأناها قال مالك قال يحيى بن سعيد قال سعيد بن المسيب فما انسلخ ذو الحجة حتى قتل عمر رحمه الله قال يحيى سمعت قوله تعالى يقول قوله الشيخ والشيخة يعني الثيب والثيبة فارجموهما ألبتة
