English translation

1959. It was narrated from 'Imrân bin Ḥuṣain that a woman from Juhainah came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "I have committed Zina." And she was pregnant. He handed her over to her guardian and said: "Look after her, and when she has given birth, bring her to me." When she gave birth, he brought her to him. He ordered that her garment be wrapped around her, then he stoned her, then he offered the funeral prayer for her. 'Umar said to him: "Are you praying for her even though she committed Zina?" He said: "She has repented in a manner that, if it were to be shared among seventy of the people of Al-Madînah it would suffice them. Have you ever seen repentance better than the one who sacrificed herself for the sake of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime?" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1957 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، وَهِيَ حُبْلَى، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى وَلِيِّهَا فَقَالَ: «أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا، فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَأْتِنِي بِهَا»، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ جَاءَ بِهَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا، ثُمَّ رَجَمَهَا، ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ، وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ تَوْبَةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

"Handed her over to her guardian", because the baby born out of adultery is innocent.
