وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ جَارِيَةً وُجَدَ رَأْسُهَا قَدْ رُضَّ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ, فَسَأَلُوهَا: مَنْ صَنَعَ بِكِ هَذَا? فُلَانٌ.‏ فُلَانٌ.‏ حَتَّى ذَكَرُوا يَهُودِيًّا.‏ فَأَوْمَأَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا, فَأُخِذَ اَلْيَهُودِيُّ, فَأَقَرَّ, فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَنْ يُرَضَّ رَأْسُهُ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ.‏ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُسْلِمٍ.‏ 1‏ .‏‏1 ‏- صحيح.‏ رواه البخاري (2413)‏، ومسلم (1672)‏ (17)‏.‏
Anas bin Malik (RAA) narrated that A girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. They asked her, ‘Who did that to you? Is it so and so, or so and so? They mentioned some names to her until they mentioned the name of a Jew, whereupon she nodded her head. The Jew was captured and he confessed. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that his head be crushed between two stones.’ Agreed upon and the wording is from Muslim.
