Sahih al-Bukhari 6624 (Book 87, Hadith 18)
brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) while she was still alive. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked her, “Did such-and-such person
strike you?” She gestured with her head, expressing denial. He asked her for the second time, and she
again gestured with her head, expressing denial. When he asked her for the third time, she beckoned,
“Yes.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) killed him (the Jew) with two stones.
“ أَقَتَلَكِ فُلاَنٌ ”. فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لاَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لاَ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ نَعَمْ، فَقَتَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحَجَرَيْنِ.
