The Baha'i Studies Listserv
It's a Shahih (authentic) Hadith. http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/ That's the best Hadith collection site I know. Also, somewhere in there's a hadith about sura 9 losing 157 verses. The Baha'i Studies Listserv Summary: There used to be a Verse of Stoning in the Quran, but its lost. Personally I think the ahadith about stoning are what got corrupted. The Qur'an made adultery an unprovable crime by requiring four eyewitnesses to the event itself. Even an out-of-wedlock pregnancy isn't sufficient evidence because that is circumstantial (after all, Mary conceived out of wedlock.) So how is it that people get stoned for this none-the-less? There are ahadith where the woman confesses four times to adultery and Muhammad has her stoned. That's convenient. Now all you have to do is coerce a confession out of a woman and then you can stone her. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:skg_z...@yahoo.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-511025-17190...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-511045-274...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
