"عَنْ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ قَالَ: إِنَّا لَبِمَكَّةَ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِامْرَأَةٍ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهَا النَّاسُ حَتَّى كَادُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: زَنَتْ، زَنَتْ، فَأُتِىَ بِهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهِىَ حُبْلَى (وَجَاءَ مَعَهَا) قَوْمُهَا فَأَثْنوْا عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَخْبِرِينِى عَنْ أَمْرِكِ، قَالَتْ: يا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنيِنَ! كُنْتُ امْرَأةً أُصِيبُ مِنْ هَذَا اللَّيْلِ، فَصَلَّيْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةِ ثُمَّ نِمْتُ فَقُمْتُ وَرَجُلٌ بَيْنِ رِجْلَىَّ فَقَذَفَ فِىَّ مِثْلَ الشِّهَابِ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: لَوَ قَتَلَ هَذِهِ مَنْ بَينَ الْجَبَلَيْنِ - أَوْ قَالَ: الأَخْشَبَيْنِ - لَعَذَّبهُمُ اللهُ، فَخَلَّى سَبيلَهَا، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى الآفاقِ أَنْ لاَ تَقْتُلُوا أَحَدًا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِى".

"From al-Nazzal ibn Sabrah, who said: 'We were in Makkah when we saw a woman around whom people had gathered, to the point that they nearly killed her, and they were saying: She has committed adultery, she has committed adultery. So she was brought to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab while she was pregnant, and her people came with her and praised her highly. 'Umar said: Tell me about your matter. She said: O Commander of the Believers, I was a woman who would go out at night, and I prayed one night, then slept, and I got up and there was a man between my legs who ejaculated into me like a shooting star, then he left. 'Umar said: If he had killed her, the one between the two mountains, or he said: the two Akhshabs, Allah would have punished them. So he released her, and he wrote to the regions: Do not kill anyone except with my permission.'"
