Re: The concept of being Stoned to Death
[QUOTE]
Br. the dilemma I have is that a verse of the Quran is in conflict with what is stated in the ahadith not that it is absent. If it was absent I would be following the ahadith.

Brother its not in conflict, from outside it might seem that it is in comflict but in reality it is not.

The first hadith you have quoted says that it was revealed and Umar RAQ recited it, understood it and memorized it but where is it then. Where did he recite it from, obviously I would take this to mean the Quran. Then where is the verse of stoning in the Quran.

As I have mentioned before, reading of this ayat was cancelled but ruling still remained.
