Hadith 1041

'Imran bin Husain (RAA) narrated, 'A woman from Juhainah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while she was pregnant due to committing adultery and said, 'O Messenger of Allah! I have done something for which a prescribed punishment is to be inflicted, so please inflict it on me. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called her guardian and said, "Be good to her, and when she delivers bring her back to me." Her guardian brought her back when she had delivered and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave his commands and her clothes were tied around her and then the Prophet (ﷺ) gave his commands and she was stoned to death. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered funeral prayer for her and thereupon 'Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah! You offer funeral prayer for her even though she committed adultery?' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "She has offered such a repentance (for her sin) that if it was divided between seventy of the inhabitants of Madinah, it would be sufficient for them. Have you found such repentance better than sacrificing her life for the sake of Allah, the Almighty?" Related by Muslim.
