Narrated to me Abu Ghassan, Malik ibn 'Abd al-Wahid al-Misma'i: narrated to us Mu'adh — meaning Ibn Hisham — narrated to me my father, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, narrated to me Abu Qilabah, that Abu al-Muhallab narrated to him from 'Imran ibn Husayn: A woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while she was pregnant from adultery, and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have committed an offense requiring a prescribed punishment, so carry it out upon me." The Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called her guardian and said, "Be good to her, and when she gives birth, bring her to me." He did so. Then the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered regarding her, and her clothes were tied tightly around her. Then he ordered regarding her, and she was stoned. Then he prayed over her. 'Umar said to him, "Do you pray over her, O Prophet of Allah, when she has committed adultery?" He said, "She has made a repentance that, if it were divided among seventy of the people of Madinah, it would have sufficed them. And have you found any repentance better than that she gave her life freely for Allah, the Exalted?"
