Chapter: Regarding the woman of Juhainah whom the prophet (pbuh) ordered to be stoned.

باب الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِرَجْمِهَا مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ

English narration

Narrated by عمران بن حصين الأزدي

Narrated Imran ibn Husayn: A woman belonging to the tribe of Juhaynah (according to the version of Aban) came to the Prophet ﷺ and said that she had committed fornication and that she was pregnant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called her guardian. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Be good to her, and when she bears a child, bring her (to me). When she gave birth to the child, he brought her (to him). The Prophet ﷺ gave orders regarding her, and her clothes were tied to her. He then commanded regarding her and she was stoned to death. He commanded the people (to pray) and they prayed over her. Thereupon Umar said: Are you praying over her, Messenger of Allah, when she has committed fornication? He said: By Him in Whose hand my soul is, she has repented to such an extent that if it were divided among the seventy people of Madina, it would have been enough for them all. And what do you find better than the fact that she gave her life. Aban did not say in his version: Then her clothes were tied to her.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَنَّ هِشَامًا الدَّسْتُوَائِيَّ ، وَأَبَانَ ابْنَ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَاهُمُ الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ : أَنَّ امْرَأَةً ، قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبَانَ : مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ ، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : "

إِنَّهَا زَنَتْ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى ، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِيًّا لَهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَجِئْ بِهَا ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ وَضَعَتْ جَاءَ بِهَا ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ ، قَالَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِّمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ ، وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا

" ، لَمْ يَقُلْ : عَنْ أَبَانَ ، فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا .
