It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah that his father said:" The Messenger of Allah said: "There are three at whom Allah will not look on the Day of Resurrection: The one who disobeys his parents, the woman who imitates men in her outward appearance, and the cuckold. And there are three who will not enter Paradise: The one who disobeys his parents, the drunkard, and the one who reminds people of what he has given them." (https://sunnah.com/nasai:2562)
One day, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees wanted to set a trap for Jesus so they could humiliate him in public. They executed this plan by bringing in a woman whom they claim was "caught in the act of adultery" and asking Jesus whether she should be stoned in accordance with the Law of Moses.
This is a familiar combination of sex, a woman, public disgrace and a double standard. The woman was used as a pawn in a power play to discredit Jesus.
Instead of giving them a simple yes or no answer, Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. Why was he looking down on the ground? What was he writing? Then Jesus stood up and said "Let the one among you who is without sin cast the first stone! " (John 8 verses 6-7)
In saying this, Jesus did not mean: "Adultery is okay because you folks also commit various other sins" Instead, He astutely challenged each individual to take responsibility for participation in the act of condemning someone else, thus exposing their hypocrisy. Would any religious folks dare claim to be sinless?
In the Middle Eastern culture, people naturally turn to the oldest person in such circumstances. Did the elder have the courage to respond to Jesus' challenge? They slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, while Jesus bent down and wrote in the dust a second time (John 8 verses 8-9). We do not know what Jesus wrote. But by looking at the ground, Jesus probably did not watch the public humiliation of his accusers. His focus was not humiliating the hypocrites, but saving the woman. What an amazing grace!
After all the accusers disappeared, Jesus finally stood up and said to the woman: "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" She responded: "No Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more" (John 8 verses 10-11). - https://christiantoday.com.au/news/how-jesus-loved-the-adulteress-and-the-prostitute.html
