4379. It was narrated from Isrā'īl, from Simāk bin Ḥarb, from 'Alqamah bin Wā'īl, from his father that a woman went out to pray at the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and she was met by a man who attacked her and had his way with her. She screamed and he went away. Then another man passed by and she said: "This man did such and such to me." A group of the Muhājirīn came by, and she said: "That man did such and such to me." They caught the man who she thought was the one who had attacked her, and brought him, and she said: "Yes, this is the one." They brought him to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and when he issued orders concerning him, the one who had attacked her, stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I am the one who attacked her." He said to her: "Go, for Allāh has forgiven you, and he
said kind words to the man.”(Hasan)
Abū Dāwūd said: Meaning, to the man who had been arrested (by mistake). And he said concerning the man who had attacked her: “Stone him.” And he said: “He has repented in such a manner that if the people of Al-Madinah repented like this, it would be accepted from them.”
Abū Dāwūd said: It was also narrated by Asbāt bin Naṣr, from Simāk.

4379 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفِّرْيَابِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً خَرَجَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ، فَتَلَقَّاهَا رَجُلٌ، فَتَجَلَّلَهَا، فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهَا، فَصَاحَتْ، وَانْطَلَقَ، فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ ذَاكَ فَعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَمَرَّتْ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ فَعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَانْطَلَقُوا، فَأَخَذُوا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي ظَنَّتْ أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، فَأَتَوْهَا بِهِ، فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ هُوَ هَذَا، فَأَتَوْا بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ بِهِ قَامَ صَاحِبُهَا الَّذِي وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَا صَاحِبُهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا «اذْهَبِي فَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكِ وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ قَوْلًا حَسَنًا»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «يَعْنِي الرَّجُلَ الْمَأْخُوذَ»، وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا: «ارْجُمُوهُ»، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ تَابَ تَوْبَةً لَوْ تَابَهَا أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَقُبِلَ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَيْضًا عَنْ سِمَاكٍ
