Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3788 — a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and confessed

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ : نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يُوسُفَ الزَّمِّيُّ قَالَ : نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاعْتَرَفَتْ بِالزِّنَا وَكَانَتْ حَامِلًا فَأَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِ سَنَةً حَتَّى وَضَعَتْ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُدَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهَا ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ فَرَجَمْتَهَا ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ تَابَهَا سَبْعُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَقُبِلَ مِنْهُمْ ، هَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا ؟ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، إِلَّا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ .
كذا في طبعة دار الحرمين ، والذي في طبعة الطحان : ( السلام ) ولعله الأقرب للصواب فالذي في المعجم الصغير : ( فأخرها رسول الله ) .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and confessed to adultery while she was pregnant. He (peace and blessings be upon him) postponed it (the carrying out of the prescribed punishment) for a year until she gave birth. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order, and her clothes were tied tightly around her; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that she be stoned; then he led her funeral prayer. A man said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do you pray the funeral prayer over her when she committed adultery and you had her stoned?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She has repented with such a repentance that, if it were divided among seventy people of Madinah, it would be accepted from all of them. Have you found any deed better than that she gave up her life for Allah?"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ayyub except Ubaydullah bin Amr al-Raqqi."
