Analysis of the Jurisprudential Hadith Narrations of Stoning (Rajm) in Sunni Narration Sources and the Role of "Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri" in Establishing it

The pragmatics of the method of hadith jurisprudence and biographical evaluation (Ilm al-Rijāl) in the analysis of narrative and historical propositions related to the verdict of stoning indicates the prominent role of Ibn Shihab Zuhri in the reputation, development and consolidation of this verdict. Because the systematic recording of hadith and events of the first century AH took place simultaneously with the order of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz. Zuhri is one of the first official codifiers of hadith, and he was the first person who could play an irreplaceable role in the cultural formation of Islamic society by selecting news and transmitting key concepts to the next generation. The present research is based on the analysis of hadith jurisprudence and the use of the method of document-text analysis, which has achieved good results in contemporary hadith studies and has analyzed the achievement of Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri's hadith by determining a common circle. The present study has concluded that on the one hand, he provided the basis for the popularity of a narrative called the "verse of stoning" and on the other hand, by widely quoting reports of stoning in the Prophetic tradition, he helped to establish the punishment of stoning in the Islamic tradition.
