[4432] 23 - (...) ‘Abdullâh bin Buraidah narrated from his father that Mâ’iz bin Mâlik Al-Aslamî came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allâh, I have wronged myself and committed Zinâ, and I want you to purify me.” But he turned him away. The next day he came to him and said: “O Messenger of Allâh, I have committed Zinâ,” but he turned him away a second time, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent word to his
people saying: "Do you know whether there is anything wrong with his mind?" They said: "All we know is that he is of sound mind, and he is one of our righteous men as far as we can tell." He came to him (ﷺ) a third time, and he sent word to them again asking them, and they told him: "There is nothing wrong with him or his mind." When he came a fourth time, he had a pit dug for him then he ordered that he be stoned.
Then the Ghâmīdī woman came and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I have committed Zinā, purify me;" but he turned her away. The next day she said: "O Messenger of Allāh, why are you turning me away? Perhaps you are turning me away as you turned Mā'iz away. But by Allāh, I am pregnant." He said: "Then no (not now), go away until you give birth." When she gave birth, she brought the child to him wrapped in a cloth, and said: "Here he is, I have given birth." He said: "Go away and breast-feed him until he is weaned." When she had weaned him, she brought the boy to him, with a piece of bread in his hand and said: "Here, O Prophet of Allāh, I have weaned him, and he is eating food." He handed the boy over to one of the Muslim men, then he ordered that a pit be dug for her, up to her chest, and he
ordered the people to stone her. Khâlid bin Al-Walîd came forward with a stone, which he flung at her head. The blood spurted onto Khâlid's face and he cursed her. The Prophet of Allâh ﷺ heard him cursing her and he said: "Calm down, O Khâlid! By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, she has repented in such a manner that if the Maks[1] - collector repented like that, he would be forgiven."
Then he ordered that the funeral prayer be offered for her, and she was buried.
