| The present-day Qur'an does not explicitly mention the act, but according to hadith, the Qur'anic verses of stoning were written on a piece of paper and were lost when a goat ate it:
| |
| {{Quote|Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal. vol. 6. p. 269; Sunan Ibn Majah, p. 626; Ibn Qutbah, Tawil Mukhtalafi 'l-Hadith (Cairo: Maktaba al-Kulliyat al-Azhariyya. 1966) p. 310; As-Suyuti, ad-Durru 'l-Manthur, vol. 2. p. 13 |[Narrated 'Aisha] "The verse of the stoning and of suckling an adult ten times were revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept under my bed. When the messenger of Allah expired and we were preoccupied with his death, a goat entered and ate away the paper."}}
| |
|
| |
| Scholars have still managed to find justification for stoning from within the Qur'an:
| |
|
| |
| {{Quote|{{Quran|11|82}}|So when Our decree came to pass, We turned them upside down and rained down upon them stones, of what had been decreed, one after another.}}
| |
|
| |
| {{Quote|{{Quran|7|84}}|And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!}}
| |
|
| |
| {{Quote|{{Quran|26|173}}|We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!}}
| |
|
| |
| {{Quote|{{Quran|27|58}}|And We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!}}
