Those who said if she commits zina while pregnant, she is given time until she delivers, then stoned

Al-Hasan al-Basri said: A woman from Bariq came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), so may you (peace and blessings be upon him) carry out the punishment of Allah upon me! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her back, until she had borne witness against herself many times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Go back. When she had delivered her child, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her an order, so she purified herself and put on her shroud. Then, by his (peace and blessings be upon him) order, she was stoned. Some of her blood struck Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), and he reviled her, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him and said: She has repented with such a repentance that, if a toll collector had repented like it, his repentance would have been accepted.

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.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A woman of the tribe of Juhaynah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: A prescribed punishment (hadd) has become due on me, so may you (peace and blessings be upon him) carry it out on me. She was pregnant. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that she be treated well until she delivered. When she had delivered, she was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and by his (peace and blessings be upon him) order her clothes were tied around her. Then he stoned her and offered her funeral prayer. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Will you (peace and blessings be upon him) offer her funeral prayer when she committed zina? At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She has repented with such a repentance that, if it were divided among seventy of the people of Madinah, it would encompass them. Will you find anyone better than one who has given up her life?

Al-Sha'bi said: Sharahah, a woman of the tribe of Hamdan, was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) while she was pregnant from zina (unlawful sexual intercourse). Sayyiduna Ali gave an order concerning her and she was confined in prison. When she had delivered what was in her womb, he brought her out on Thursday and gave her one hundred lashes, and he stoned her on Friday.

Abu Sufyan reports from his shaykhs: A woman's husband had been absent, then he returned while his wife was pregnant, so he presented her before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He ordered that she be stoned. At this Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Even if you have grounds against this woman, you have no grounds against the child in her womb. So Sayyiduna Umar said: Confine this woman until she gives birth. She gave birth to a child who had two teeth. When his father saw him, he began saying: My son, my son. This news reached Sayyiduna Umar, and he said: Women have become incapable of giving birth to men like Mu'adh. Were it not for Mu'adh, Umar would have perished.

Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah said: A woman who had committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He confined her until she gave birth, and her postnatal bleeding stopped and she became pure.

The aforementioned statement of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is also reported in the same words from Abd al-Rahman through this chain.

Dhuhl bin Ka'b said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to stone the woman who had committed immorality while she was pregnant. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Then you will wrong her. What is your view about the soul that is in her womb? What is its sin? For what reason will you kill two souls in place of one soul? So he left her until she delivered, and then he stoned her.

Zadhan said: By the order of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), the woman was wrapped completely in a cloak.

Mas'ud, a member of the family of Abu al-Darda, said: When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stoned Sharahah, the people began to curse and revile her. At this he said: O people! Do not curse and revile her. For whoever has the lash of a punishment struck upon him, that becomes his expiation: the recompense of a debt in exchange for a debt.
