حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ , حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ , عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ , عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلِّبِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ اعْتَرَفَتْ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالزِّنَا , فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي حُبْلَى فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِيَّهَا , فَقَالَ : " أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا , فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا , فَأَخْبِرْنِي " . فَفَعَلَ , فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُدَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا , ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهَا , فَرُجِمَتْ , ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا , فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , رَجَمْتَهَا ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا , فَقَالَ : " لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ , وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Narrated 'Imran bin Husain:` "A woman from Juhainah confessed before the Prophet (ﷺ) that she had committed adultery, and she said: 'I am pregnant.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) called for her guardian and said: 'Be good to her and if she gives birth to her child then tell me.' So he did so, and then he (ﷺ) gave the order that her clothes be bound tightly around her. Then he ordered her to be stoned and she was stoned. Then he performed (funeral) Salat for her. So 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah! You stoned her then you prayed for her?!' He said: 'She has repented a repentance that, if distributed among seventy of the people of Al-Madinah, it would have sufficed them. Have you ever seen something more virtuous than her sacrificing herself for the sake of Allah?'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
It is understood that when carrying out the prescribed punishment (hadd) upon women, care must be taken to maintain the covering of their bodies (awrah).
2:
Just as with other deceased Muslims, the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) will also be performed for the one upon whom the prescribed punishment (hadd) has been carried out,
because the implementation of the hadd serves as expiation (kaffarah) for the one upon whom it is applied.
There is consensus among all Muslims on this matter.
This is why, in the aforementioned hadith, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) clarified to Umar (radi Allahu anhu) the significance of the repentance of this repentant woman.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1959. Commentary:
➊ “Entrusted to the guardian”: Because the child born from adultery is innocent, therefore he will not be killed; rather, he will be protected. Moreover, this method will help in preventing adultery, because in the form of the child, there will remain an everlasting disgrace for the adulterers.
➋ “She gave birth to the child”: She was not stoned immediately after giving birth, but in other narrations it is mentioned that when the child became independent of her milk and started eating bread. May we be sacrificed for such a compassionate and noble Prophet—sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
➌ If a married woman commits adultery, she too will be stoned just as a man is stoned.
➍ A pregnant woman will not be stoned until she has delivered the child and the child has started eating and drinking other than milk.
➎ It is recommended (mustahabb) to tie clothes so that there is no exposure.
➏ It is not necessary for the judge (qadi) or ruler to participate in the stoning.
➐ If a long time has passed since the sin was committed, the prescribed punishment (hadd) is not dropped because of that; rather, whenever the case is proven in court, the hadd will be established.
➑ After the hadd has been carried out, a person cannot be taunted for that sin, because the hadd eliminates the sin; now it is as if he never committed that sin.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The purpose of wrapping and tying the cloth properly around the body is so that the woman’s body is not exposed.
➋ The funeral prayer should be performed for the one upon whom the prescribed punishment (hadd) has been carried out, and she should be buried in the Muslims’ graveyard.
