4442. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated from his father that a woman from Ghāmid came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "I have committed immorality." He said: "Go back." So she went back. The next day she came and said: "Perhaps you want to send me back as you sent Mā'iz bin Mālik back. But by Allāh, I am pregnant." He said to her: "Go back." So she went back. The next day she came to him and he said: "Go back until you have given birth." She came back when she had given birth, and brought the child to him and said: "This is the one to whom I have given birth." He said: "Go back and breastfeed him until you wean him." She brought him when she had weaned him, and he had something in his hand that he was eating. He ordered that the child be given to a man among the Muslims, then he ordered that a pit be dug for her, and he ordered that she be stoned. Khālid was among those who stoned her, and he threw a stone and a drop of her blood landed on his face so he reviled her, but the Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Take it easy, O Khālid! By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, she has repented in such a manner that if the collector of the Maks tax (unlawful taxes) were to repent like that, he would be forgiven.” And he ordered that the funeral prayer be offered for her, and that she be buried. (Sahīh)

4442 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً - يَعْنِي - مِنْ غَامِدٍ، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ فَجَرْتُ، فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعِي»، فَرَجَعَتْ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ الْغَدُ أَتَتْهُ، فَقَالَتْ: لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرُدَّنِي كَمَا رَدَدْتَ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَحُبْلَى، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ارْجِعِي»، فَرَجَعَتْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ أَتَتْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ارْجِعِي حَتَّى تَلِدِي»، فَرَجَعَتْ، فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ أَتَتْهُ بِالصَّبِيِّ، فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا قَدْ وَلَدْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «ارْجِعِي فَأَرْضِعِيهِ حَتَّى تَفْطِمِيهِ» فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ وَقَدْ فَطَمَتْهُ، وَفِي يَدِهِ شَيْءٌ يَأْكُلُهُ، فَأَمَرَ بِالصَّبِيِّ فَدُفِعَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفِرَ لَهَا، وَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ، وَكَانَ خَالِدٌ فِيمَنْ يَرْجُمُهَا، فَرَجَمَهَا بِحَجَرٍ فَوَقَعَتْ قَطْرَةٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا عَلَى وَجْنَتِهِ، فَسَبَّهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَهْلًا يَا خَالِدُ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ تَابَهَا صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ لَغُفِرَ لَهُ»، وَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَصُلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا وَدُفِنَتْ
