Following up on people who deny the hadiths regarding stoning, so how do we respond to them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So they said, "Go to this man; perhaps you will find with him a way out of stoning."
To this man, who do they mean? Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
So they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he ordered them to do what is in the Torah, which is to stone them. The Torah was brought so that they could read it in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The reader placed his hand over the verse of stoning in the Torah, for what purpose? To hide it. And Abdullah ibn Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of the Jewish rabbis, but he had embraced Islam, so he said to the reader, "Lift your hand," because he knew the Torah. So the reader lifted his hand, and there was the verse of stoning, clear and apparent. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that they be stoned, meaning the Jewish man who committed adultery with the Jewish woman, along with the one with whom she had committed adultery.
So these people tried to hide what was written with them in the Torah, and the Muslim community, praise be to Allah, implemented what was abrogated and not seen in the Qur'an, but it was established in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); it was recited, memorized, understood, and implemented.
So stoning, then, is established by the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the Muslims.
