Hadith of Imran ibn Husain (RA)
حديث عمران بن حصين
Hadith 790:112
Abu ‘Amir narrated to us, Hisham narrated to us, from Yahya, from Abu Qilabah, from Abu al-Muhallab, from ‘Imran ibn Husayn, that a woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, while she was pregnant from adultery. She said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a transgression that warrants a prescribed punishment, so execute it upon me." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, called her guardian and said: "Treat her well, and when she delivers her child, bring her to me." He did so, and he (the Prophet) ordered that her clothes be tied securely upon her, then he ordered that she be stoned. Then he prayed over her. ‘Umar said to him: "Do you pray over her when you have stoned her?" He replied: "She has repented with a repentance that, if it were divided among seventy of the people of Medina, it would suffice them. And have you found anything better than that she offered her soul to Allah?"
حدثنا أبو عامر، حدثنا هشام، عن يحيى، عن أبي قلابة، عن أبي المهلب، عن عمران بن حصين، أن امرأة من جهينة أتت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهي حبلى من زنا فقالت: يا رسول الله، أصبت حدا فأقمه علي. فدعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وليها فقال: " أحسن إليها، فإذا وضعت حملها فأتني بها ". ففعل فأمر بها فشكت عليها ثيابها، ثم أمر بها فرجمت، ثم صلى عليها. فقال له عمر: تصلي عليها وقد رجمتها؟ فقال: " لقد تابت توبة لو قسمت بين سبعين من أهل المدينة لوسعتهم، وهل وجدت أفضل من أن جادت بنفسها لله؟ "
