English translation

4440. It was narrated from 'Imrān bin Ḥusain that a woman - in the Hadīth of Abān (one of the narrators) it says: from Juhainah - came to the Prophet ﷺ and said that she had committed Zinā and she was pregnant. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called her guardian and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: "Treat her kindly, and when she gives birth, bring her to me." When she gave birth, he brought her to him, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered that her garment be tied tightly around her (Fashukkat 'alaihā), then he ordered that she be stoned. Then he ordered that the funeral prayer be offered for her. 'Umar said: "O Messenger of Allāh, should the funeral prayer be offered for her when she has committed Zinā?" He said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, she has repented in such a manner that if it were shared among seventy of the people of Al-Madīnah, it would be sufficient for them all. Is there anything better than her giving up her soul?" (Sahīh)

Arabic text

4440 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنَّ هِشَامًا الدَّسْتُوَائِيَّ، وَأَبَانَ ابْنَ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَاهُمْ، الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، - قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبَانَ: مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ -، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهَا زَنَتْ، وَهِيَ حُبْلَى، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِيًّا لَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا، فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَجِئْ بِهَا»، فَلَمَّا أَنْ وَضَعَتْ جَاءَ بِهَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ؟ قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِّمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ، وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا» لَمْ يَقُلْ عَنْ أَبَانَ: فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا
