"عَنْ أَبِى الضُّحَى: أَنَّ امرَأَةً أَتَتْ عُمَرَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّى زَنَيْتُ فَارجمنِى فَرَدَّها، حَتَّى شَهِدَتْ أَرْبَعَ شَهادَات، وَأمَرَ بِرَجْمِها، فَقَالَ عَلى: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤْمِنِينَ! رُدّها فسَلها مَازِنَاها لَعَلَّ لَها عُذْرًا؟ فَرَدَّهَا فَقَالَ: مَا زِنَاكِ؟ قَالَتْ: كَان لأهْلِى إِبِل فَخَرَجْتُ فِى إِبِلِ أَهْلِى، فَكَانَ لَنَا خَلِيط فَخَرجَ فِى إِبِلِهِ فَحَمَلتُ مَعِى مَاءً وَلَم يَكُنْ فِى إِبلِى لَبَن وَحَمَل خَلِيطُنَا مَاءً وَكَانَ فِى إِبِلِهِ لَبَن فَنَفِدَ مَائِى فَاسْتَسْقَيْتُهُ فَأبى أَنْ يَسْقِيَنِى حَتَّى أُمَكِّنَهُ فَأَبيْتُ حَتَّى كَادَتْ نَفْسِى تَخْرُجُ أَعطيْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَليٌّ: الله أَكْبَرُ "فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ باغٍ وَلاَ عَادٍ () "، رَأَى لَها عُذْرًا".

“On the authority of Abu al-Duha: A woman came to 'Umar and said: I have committed fornication, so stone me. He turned her away until she testified four times, and he ordered her to be stoned. 'Ali said: O Commander of the Believers! Send her back and ask her about her fornication, perhaps she has an excuse. So he sent her back and said: What was your fornication? She said: My family had camels, and I went out with my family's camels. We had a companion who went out with his camels. I carried water with me, but there was no milk in my camels, while our companion carried water and there was milk in his camels. My water ran out, so I asked him for water, but he refused to give me any until I gave myself to him. I refused until I was nearly dying, and then I gave myself to him. 'Ali said: Allahu Akbar! ‘Whoever is forced, neither desiring it nor transgressing’ {Quran 2:173} ( ). He considered that an excuse for her.”
