1) The passage discusses punishments for unlawful sexual acts mentioned in the Quran and Hadith, including lashing and stoning. 2) It provides details of cases where the Prophet Muhammad ordered stoning punishments to be carried out, such as the case of Ma'iz bin Malik who was found to have committed unlawful sexual intercourse. 3) After the punishment is carried out, the repentant sinner is to be treated with dignity and respect, seeking forgiveness for them through prayers and funeral rites, and avoiding disparaging speech about them.

1. Quran 24:2
The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each
one of them with a hundred lashes, and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion of
Allah, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers
witness their punishment.

Imam Malik recorded that `Umar, may Allah be
pleased with him, stood up and praised and glorified
Allah, then he said; "O people! Allah sent
Muhammad with the truth, and revealed to him the
Book. One of the things that was revealed to him
was the Ayah of stoning to death, which we have
recited and understood. The Messenger of Allah
carried out the punishment of stoning and after him
we did so, but I am afraid that as time goes by,
some will say that they did not find the Ayah of
stoning in the Book of Allah, and they will go
astray because they abandoned one of the
obligations revealed by Allah.
do not be taken by pity
for them in the religion
of Allah,
Ibn Kathir:
It was recorded in the Two Sahihs from Abu Hurayrah
and Zayd bin Khalid Al-Juhani in the Hadith about the
two bedouins who came to the Messenger of Allah. One
of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, this son of mine
was employed by this man, and committed Zina with his
wife. I paid a ransom with him on behalf of my son one
hundred sheep and a slave-girl, but when I asked the
people of knowledge, they said that my son should be
given one hundred stripes and banished for a year, and
that this man's wife should be stoned to death.''
The Messenger of Allah said:
(By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will judge
between you both according to the Book of Allah. Take
back the slave-girl and sheep, and your son is to be
given one hundred stripes and banished for one year. O
Unays -- he said to a man from the tribe of Aslam -- go
to this man's wife, and if she confesses, then stone her
to death.) Unays went to her and she confessed, so he
stoned her to death. This indicates that if the person
who is guilty of illegal sex is a virgin and unmarried, he
should be banished in addition to being given one
hundred stripes. But if married, meaning he has had
intercourse within the bounds of lawful marriage, and he
is free, adult and of sound mind, then he should be
stoned to death.

2. (if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. ) means, then do that, carry
out the punishments on those who commit illegal sex, and strike
them hard without causing any wound, so that he and others
like him will be deterred by the terror of that.
Maududi:
Ma`iz was an orphan boy from the clan of Aslam who had been brought up by Hazzal
bin Nu'aim. He committed zina with a freed slave-girl. Hazzal said to him, "Go to the
Holy Prophet and inform him of your sin; may be he prays for your forgiveness."
Ma`iz went before the Holy Prophet in,the Mosque and said, "I have committed zina;
please purify me " The Holy Prophet turned his face away from him and said, "Woe
be to you, go back and pray to Allah for forgiveness." But the boy again appeared
before the Holy Prophet and said the same thing and the Holy Prophet again turned
his face away. The boy then repeated his offense for the third time and the Holy
Prophet again turned his face away. Hadrat Abu Bakr warned the boy that if he
confessed the crime for the fourth time, the Holy Prophet would get him stoned. But
the boy persisted and repeated the same thing again. At this the Holy Prophet turned
to him and said: "You might have only kissed or embraced or caressed her, or you
might have looked at her with lust (and you thought it was an act of Zina." The boy
said, "No." The Holy Prophet asked, "Did you lie with her in the same bed?" The boy
replied in the affirmative. The Holy Prophet again asked: "Did you have sexual
intercourse with her? The boy again replied in the affirmative. The Holy Prophet then
inquired in the most explicit Arabic expression specifically used for this act. Such a
naked expression had never before been heard nor was ever heard afterwards from
him. Had it not been the question of the life of an individual, the Holy Prophet would
never have uttered such words. But the boy again replied in the affirmative to this
explicit question. The Holy Prophet then asked: "Did you commit the act in such a
manner that your male organ disappeared in her female part'?" The boy answered,
"Yes." Again he was asked whether the act was as Complete as is a piston in a
cylinder and a rope in a well. The boy again answered in the affirmative. Again he
was asked whether he really understood what zina meant, and the boy said, "Yes, I
have committed the same act with her illegitimately which a husband commits
legitimately with his wife." The Holy Prophet asked: "Are 'you married?" He said,
"Yes". Again the Holy Prophet asked whether he had taken any wine. He said, "No",
and one of the Companions smelt his mouth and continued that he had not. After this
the Holy Prophet inquired of his neighbors whether he was suffering from insanity.
They replied that he had not exhibited any sign of insanity. Then the Holy Prophet
said to Hazzal: "Had you kept it secret, it would have been better for you." Then
he ordered Ma`iz to be stoned to death and he was stoned to death outside the city.
When they began to throw stones at him, Ma`iz tried to escape, and said, "O people,
take me back to the Holy Prophet. The people of my clan deluded me, assuring that
the Holy Prophet would not condemn me to death." But they did not let him escape.
Afterwards when this incident was reported to the Holy Prophet, he said: "Why
didn't you let him go? Had you brought him to me, he might have repented. and
Allah might have accepted his repentance."

After a convict has been stoned to death,
he (or she) will be treated like any other
Muslim: his (or her) body will be washed
and shrouded: funeral prayer will be said
in the Islamic way, and he (or she) will be
buried with due respect in a Muslim
graveyard. Prayers for his forgiveness
will be offered and it will be improper for
anyone to talk ill of him.
According to Jabir bin 'Abdullah Ansari, as cited
in Bukhari, when Ma'iz bin Malik was stoned to
death, the Holy Prophet said good words about
him and himself led his funeral prayer. A Tradition
from Buraidah, as cited in Muslim, states that the
Holy Prophet said: °Pray for the forgiveness of
Ma'iz bin Malik: he has offered such a
repentance that if it were to be distributed over a
whole community, it would suffice for the
forgiveness of all its people." In the same
Tradition it has been mentioned that when
Ghaimidiyyah died due to stoning, her funeral
prayer was led by the Holy Prophet. When Khaid
bin Walid talked ill of her, the Holy Prophet said:
"Khalid, hold your tongue! I swear by Him Who
controls my life that her repentance was such
that even if a cruel tax-collector had offered such
a repentance, he would have been forgiven."
According to Abu Hurairah, as cited in Abu
Da'ud, after the stoning of Ma`iz one day when
the Holy Prophet was walking along, he heard
two men talking ill of Ma`iz. When he had gone a
few paces further, he saw the dead body of a
donkey. He stopped there and asked the two
men: "Come on and eat something out of it."
They said, "O Prophet of Allah, who can eat a
dead donkey?" The Holy Prophet replied:
"Talking ill of your own brother was much worse
than eating a dead donkey. "
