حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى مِنَ الزِّنَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَيَّ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلِيَّهَا فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا فَأْتِنِي بِهَا» فَفَعَلَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ؟»

✧ A woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet ﷺ while pregnant from adultery and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin meriting a hadd, so carry it out on me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called her guardian and said, "Go and treat her well, and when she gives birth, bring her to me." He did so, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that her clothes be fastened about her, then he ordered her to be stoned. Then he prayed over her. Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, will you pray over her when she committed adultery?" He said, "She has repented such a repentance that if it were divided among seventy of the people of Madinah, it would suffice them. Have you found anything better than her giving her life for Allah ﷻ?"
