Hadith 19:428

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Ibn Idris narrated to us, from ‘Asim ibn Kulayb, from his father, who said: Abu Musa said: A pregnant woman was brought to me while I was in Yemen. I questioned her, and she said: "Why do you ask about a pregnant woman who is a thayyib (previously married) without a husband? By Allah, I have not taken a lover nor have I taken a companion since I accepted Islam. But while I was sleeping in the courtyard of my house, by Allah, nothing woke me except a man who lifted me and cast into my belly something like a shooting star. Then I looked at him as he was turning away; I do not know who he was among the creation of Allah." So I wrote to ‘Umar regarding her. ‘Umar wrote back: "Bring her to me, along with some people from her tribe." He said: We met him at the season (of Hajj). He said, appearing as if he were angry: "Perhaps you have already preceded me with some action regarding the woman?" I said: "No, she is with me, along with some people from her tribe." He questioned her, and she informed him just as she had informed me. Then he questioned her tribe, and they praised her well. He said: So ‘Umar said: "A young Tihami woman who has been slept with; it has been done." He gave her a garment and commanded her tribe to treat her well.

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا بن إدريس عن عاصم بن كليب عن أبيه قال قال أبو موسى أوتيت وأنا باليمن امرأة حبلى فسألتها فقالت ما تسأل عن امرأة حبلى ثيب من غير بعل أما والله ما خاللت خليلا ولا خادنت خدنا منذ اسلمت ولكن بينا أنا نائمة بفناء بيتي والله ما أيقظني إلا رجل رفعني وألقى في بطني مثل الشهاب ثم نظرت إليه مقفي ما أدري من هو من خلق الله فكتبت فيها إلى عمر فكتب عمر ائتني بها وبناس من قومها قال فوافيناه بالموسم فقال شبه الغضبان لعلك قد سبقتني بشيء من أمر امرأة قال قلت لا وهي معي وناس من قومها فسألها فأخبرته كما أخبرتني ثم سأل قومها فأثنوا خيرا قال فقال عمر شابة تهامية قد نومت قد كان يفعل قمارها وكساها وأوصى بها قومها خيرا
