Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1925b
"عَنِ الشعبى: أن رجلا أتى عمر بن الخطاب فقال: إن لى ابنة كنت وَأدْتُهَا في الجاهلية، فاستخرجناها قبل أن تموت، فأدركت معنا الإسلام فأسلمت، فلما أسلمت أصابها حد من حدود اللَّه -تعالى- فَأَخَذَتِ الشَّفرةَ لتذبح نفسها فأدركناها وقد قطعت بعض أوداجها، فداويناها حتى برئت، ثم أقبلت بعدُ بِتَوْبَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ، وهى تخطب إلى قوم، فأخبرهم من شأنها بالذى كان؟ فقال عُمرُ: أتعمدُ إلى ما يستر اللَّه فتؤذيه، واللَّه لئن أخبرت بشأنها أحدًا من الناس لأجعلنَّك نكالا لأهل الأمصار، بل أنكحها إنكاح العفيفة المسلمة".

"From al-Sha'bi: A man came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: 'I had a daughter whom I buried alive in the Jahiliyyah. We dug her out before she died, and she reached Islam with us and embraced Islam. When she embraced Islam, she committed one of the prescribed punishments of Allah, the Exalted. She took a blade to slaughter herself, and we caught up with her after she had cut some of her veins. We treated her until she recovered, and then she came back with sincere repentance, and she is now being proposed to by a people. Should I inform them of her past?' 'Umar said: 'Would you deliberately go to what Allah has concealed and expose it? By Allah, if you inform anyone of her matter, I will make you an example for the people of the cities. Rather, marry her off in the manner of a chaste Muslim woman.'"
