[4433] 24 – ( 1696) It was narrated from 'Imrân bin Husain that a woman from Juhainah came to the Prophet of Allah and she was pregnant as the result of Zinâ. She said: 0 Prophet of Allah, I have done something that incurs a Hadd punishment, so carry it out on me. The Prophet of Allah ç called her guardian and said: "Treat her well, then when she has given birth, bring her to me." He did that, and the Prophet of Allah ij ordered that her clothes be tied around her, then he ordered that she be stoned. Then he offered the funeral prayer for her, and 'Umar said to him: "Will you offer the funeral prayer for her, 0 Prophet of Allah, when she has committed Zinâ?" He said: Ma/cs: an unjust tax collected by the helpers of the wrongdoers when people buy and sell. "She has repented in such a manner that if it were divided among seventy of the people of Al-Madinah, it would be sufficient for them. Have 4 you seen any repentance better than that of one who sacrificed herself to Allah, Exalted is He?"
