No where is stoning to death prescribed in the Quran as a form of punishment for any crime. It is mentioned as one of the threats made by the non-believers to many of the prophets and the believers, as a punishment for their faith in one God. The only crime for which death sentence is prescribed in the Quran is murder. Samiya > or have limbs their amputated.
