As per following Hadith, Muhammad (sa) ordered and performed stoning as punishment for adultery. It was even performed to a woman. > Sahih Muslim (17:4196) - A married man confesses to adultery. > Muhammad orders him planted in the ground and pelted with stones. > According to the passage, the first several stones caused such pain > that he tried to escape and had to be dragged back. . > Sahih Muslim (17:4206) - A woman who became pregnant confesses to > Muhammad that she is guilty of adultery. Muhammad allows her to have > the child, then has her stoned. The description is graphic: "Khalid b > Walid came forward with a stone which he flung at her head and there > spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her." According to following Quran verses, punishment for adultery is 100 lashes or house arrest maximum. > an-Nur, 24:2 The adulteress and adulterer should be flogged a hundred lashes each, > and no pity for them should deter you from the law of God, if you > believe in God and the Last Day; and the punishment should be > witnessed by a body of believers. . > an-Nisa', 4:15 If any of your women is guilty of unnatural offence, > bring four of your witnesses to give evidence; if they testify against > them, retain them in the houses until death overtakes them or God > provides some other way for them. So, if stoning was not advised in quran, how come Muhammad (sa) made such decisions?
