Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30728 — Those who said if she commits zina

Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A woman of Ghamid came and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I have committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and I want you (peace and blessings be upon him) to purify me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her back. When the next day came, she said: O Prophet of Allah! Why did you (peace and blessings be upon him) send me back? Perhaps you (peace and blessings be upon him) wish to send me back as you (peace and blessings be upon him) sent back Ma'iz bin Malik! By Allah, I am pregnant! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you will not desist, then go until you give birth. When she had given birth, she brought the child in a tattered cloth and said: I have given birth to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she brought the child with a piece of bread in his hand. She said: O Prophet of Allah! I have weaned him, and he has eaten food. So the child was handed over to a man from among the Muslims. Then, by his (peace and blessings be upon him) order, a pit was dug up to her chest, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the people, and they threw stones at her. Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a stone and struck her on the head, and her blood spattered on the face of Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid. The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard him reviling the woman, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hold back, O Khalid bin al-Walid! By the One in whose hand of power is my soul, she has repented with such a repentance that, if a toll collector had repented like it, he would have been forgiven. Then, by his (peace and blessings be upon him) order, her funeral prayer was offered and she was buried.
