3 - In The Book of Leviticus Lord orders Moses to burn the daughter of the priest if she commit ted adultery … and it is in chapter 21 number 9 :
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
And once again comes in the book of Genesis chapter 38 number 24 :
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
4- In the The Book of Leviticus the Moses stoned a man for he cursed, it is in the Chapter 24 number 23 :
And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
And more amazing than what mentioned is the Book of Exodus mentions that Lord orders stoning an ox that butts a man and kills him….! And it is in the Chapter 21 number 28 :
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
And I wonder : why the objectors did not deny these texts as they did with the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) hadith and said what they said…?!
And it is noticed from what mentioned before that Prophet (peace be upon him) did not cancel Moses law of stoning adulterer, besides the Moses followers, the Jews, that concealed the fixed punishment sentence of stoning in their Torah , so the Allah Almighty said :
(O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much. There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book) . Almaida 15
And most amazing thing is what Jesus said according to the Book of Mathew chapter 5 number 17-18 : 17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 . For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Considering the texts of Old Testament that previously mentioned we find in them the declaration of stoning and burning of adulterers.. and concerning the New Testament texts we find that Jesus cancelled the adultery punishment …! And it is about the adulterer that was caught during committing adultery : He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
It came in the book of John, chapter 8 numbers 4-7 , they said to him : 4. They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.5. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? . 6 . This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 . So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
I said : there are some issues that are clear in these texts:
1 – The Jesus Christ contradicts himself when said ,the Book of Mathew chapter 5 number 17 :
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
2- This story is added to The Book of John; cause it is not available in the oldest manuscripts,and thus said The Bible scholars, like Bruth Metzger and others, and we find some copies that put this story between two brackets, and sometimes it is written in the footnote it is not found in the oldest copies.

3- Allah has told him that the woman is innocent, and this was a conspiracy by the Pharisees. …!!
And finally I ask : why the objectors carry out the adultery punishment till nowadays…?!
