English translation

4399. It was narrated from Jarīr, from Al-A'mash, from Abū Zabyān, from Ibn 'Abbās who said: "An insane woman who had committed Zinā was brought to 'Umar and he consulted some people about her. 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, ordered that she be stoned, then 'Ali bin Abī Tālib, may Allāh be pleased with him, passed by her, and said: 'What is going on with this woman?' They said: 'She is the insane woman of Banū So-and-so. She committed Zinā and 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, ordered that she be stoned.' He said: 'Take her back.' Then he came to him, and said: 'O Commander of the Believers, do you not know that the Pen has been lifted from three: From the insane person until he comes to his senses, from the sleeping person until he awakens and from the child until he reaches the age of maturity? He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then why is this woman to be stoned?' He said: 'Nothing.' He said: 'Then let her go.' So he let her go, and he started to say the Takbir." (Da'if)

4399 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بِمَجْنُونَةٍ قَدْ زَنَتْ، فَاسْتَشَارَ فِيهَا أُنَاسًا، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنْ تُرْجَمَ، مُرَّ بِهَا عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا شَأْنُ هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا: مَجْنُونَةُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ زَنَتْ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنْ تُرْجَمَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: ارْجِعُوا بِهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَمَا عَلِمْتَ " أَنَّ الْقَلَمَ قَدْ رُفِعَ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ: عَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ، وَعَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ، وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ؟ " قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَمَا بَالُ هَذِهِ تُرْجَمُ؟ قَالَ: لَا شَيْءَ، قَالَ: فَأَرْسِلْهَا، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَهَا، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يُكَبِّرُ
