      The Jews were denying that the punishment was stoning, and Muhammad demanded to see a copy of theTorah and that it be read to him. The ruling that prescribed stoning the adulterer was in theTorah for all to see, and Muhammad was vindicated. Al-Biqāʿī also cites a different version of the same report in which Muhammad placed theTorah on a cushion as a sign of respect.
