Hadith 6718
اُردوEn
عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ اعْتَرَفَتْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِزِنًا وَقَالَتْ أَنَا حُبْلَى فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِيَّهَا فَقَالَ أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَأَخْبِرْنِي فَفَعَلَ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجَمْتَهَا ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا قَالَ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman from the Juhaina tribe confessed to adultery before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I am pregnant. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called her guardian and said: Treat her well, and when she gives birth to the child, inform me. He did so. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave orders regarding the woman, so her clothes were tied tightly around her, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to be stoned, and she was stoned. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered her funeral prayer. Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! You stoned her and now you are offering her funeral prayer? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She has repented with such a repentance that if it were distributed among seventy people of Madinah, it would suffice to forgive them all. Have you found anything superior to the fact that this woman sacrificed her life for the sake of Allah Almighty?
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … If these two hadiths are understood to refer to one woman, then it becomes easy to understand the issue that the woman will be given the opportunity to nurse the child. And if these are two separate incidents, then in light of the first hadith, we will interpret the second hadith, meaning that although nursing is not mentioned in it, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have given this woman the same opportunity, so that due to someone’s crime, no kind of injustice is done to the child. It is also possible that, according to the second hadith, the woman was stoned immediately after the birth of the child because there was another woman available to nurse the child.
The evidence for the latter interpretation is that in one version of the wording of the first hadith of this chapter, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ((IDHAN LA NARJUMUHA WA NADA‘U WALADAHA SAGHIR AS-SINN LAISA LAHU MAN YURDI‘UHU.)) … “Then we will not stone her yet, lest we leave the child at such a young age with no one to nurse him.” (Sahih Muslim: 1695)
