Stoning of Jews Using Torah as Warrant (Ibn Majah's Chain)
Ibn Majah 2547 reinforces the cross-collection attestation of the Jewish-couple stoning incident. The substantive issues are addressed in entry d02. The Ibn Majah contribution: the teaching is preserved across all major Sunni collections, confirming its canonical status.
The analysis from entry d02 applies fully here.
- P1. Ibn Majah 2547 preserves the Jewish-couple stoning incident with cross-collection attestation.
- P2. The teaching is in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah.
- P3. The hadith establishes stoning as cross-confessional punishment under Muhammad's authority.
- P4. The Torah-warrant framing creates internal Islamic-doctrinal tension (selective acceptance of supposedly corrupted scripture).
- P5. The 'man shielding the woman' detail preserves the human moral horror of the act.
- P6. Modern stoning executions cite this and parallel material as warrant.
- P7. A morally serious framework does not establish stoning as cross-religious punishment for adultery. (See entry d02.)
