A woman of Ghamid came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I have committed fornication. He said: Go back. She returned, and on the next day she came to him again, and said: Perhaps you want to send me back as you did to Ma’iz b. Malik. I swear by Allah, I am pregnant. He said to her: Go back. She then returned and came to him the next day. He said to her: Go back until you give birth to a child. She then returned. When she gave birth to a child, she brought the child to him, and said: Here it is! I have given birth to it. He said: Go back, and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she brought him (the boy) to him with something in his hand which he was eating. The boy was then given to a certain man of the Muslims and he (the Prophet) commanded regarding her. So a pit was dug for her, and he gave orders about her and she was stoned to death. Khalid was one of those who were throwing stones at her. He threw a stone at her. When a drop blood fell on his cheeks, he abused her. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: Gently, Khalid. By Him in whose hand my soul is, she has reported to such an extent that if one who wrongfully takes extra tax were to repent to a like extent, he would be forgiven. Then giving command regarding her, prayed over her and she was buried.  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً يَعْنِي مِنْ غَامِدَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ فَجَرْتُ فَقَالَ ارْجِعِي فَرَجَعَتْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ أَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرُدَّنِي كَمَا رَدَدْتَ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَحُبْلَى فَقَالَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي فَرَجَعَتْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ أَتَتْهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي حَتَّى تَلِدِي فَرَجَعَتْ فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ أَتَتْهُ بِالصَّبِيِّ فَقَالَتْ هَذَا قَدْ وَلَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي فَأَرْضِعِيهِ حَتَّى تَفْطِمِيهِ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ وَقَدْ فَطَمَتْهُ وَفِي يَدِهِ شَىْءٌ يَأْكُلُهُ فَأَمَرَ بِالصَّبِيِّ فَدُفِعَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفِرَ لَهَا وَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ وَكَانَ خَالِدٌ فِيمَنْ يَرْجُمُهَا فَرَجَمَهَا بِحَجَرٍ فَوَقَعَتْ قَطْرَةٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا عَلَى وَجْنَتِهِ فَسَبَّهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْلاً يَا خَالِدُ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ تَابَهَا صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ لَغُفِرَ لَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَصُلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا فَدُفِنَتْ  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a woman from Ghamid came to him and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have committed adultery and I want you to purify me." The Prophet ﷺ told her to go back. The next day she came to him again and confessed to committing adultery. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, purify me, for perhaps you will turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz ibn Malik." The Prophet ﷺ told her to go back. When she gave birth, she brought the baby to the Prophet ﷺ , and she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have given birth." He told her to go and breastfeed the baby until she weaned him. After she weaned him, she brought the baby with a piece of bread in his hand and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have weaned him." The Prophet ﷺ ordered the baby to be given to a Muslim man and ordered a hole to be dug for her. She was then buried up to her chest, and the people were ordered to stone her. Khalid ibn Al-Walid came with a stone and hit her head, causing blood to splatter onto Khalid's face. Khalid cursed her, and the Prophet ﷺ heard him. He said, "Hold on, O Khalid ibn Al-Walid, do not curse her. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, she has repented with such a repentance that if the repentance of a person with leprosy were compared to her repentance, his sins would be forgiven." The Prophet ﷺ then prayed over her and she was buried.

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a woman from the tribe of Banu Ghamed came to him and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have committed adultery and I want you to purify me." He told her to go back. The next day she came to him again and confessed her sin. She said, "O Prophet of Allah, purify me, and perhaps you will treat me as you treated Ma'iz ibn Malik." She pleaded with him, saying, "By Allah, I am pregnant." The Prophet ﷺ told her to go back until she gave birth. When she gave birth, she came to him carrying the baby in a cloth and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have given birth." He said, "Go and breastfeed him, then wean him." When she weaned the baby, she came to him holding a piece of bread in his hand and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have weaned him." The Prophet ﷺ ordered the baby to be given to a Muslim man and ordered a hole to be dug for her. She was placed in the hole up to her chest and the people were ordered to stone her. Khalid ibn al-Walid came forward with a stone and struck her head, causing blood to splatter onto Khalid's cheek. He cursed her, and the Prophet ﷺ heard his curse. He said, "Stop, O Khalid, do not curse her. By the One in whose hand is my soul, she has repented in a way that if a sinful person were to repent the same way, Allah would have forgiven him." He ordered for her to be prayed upon and buried.

[Machine] I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when al-Ghamidiyyah from the Azd tribe came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery." He turned her away. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you want to turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz?" By Allah, I am now pregnant." He said, "Go until you give birth to the child." She came back and said, "I have given birth to the child, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Go and breastfeed him." She breastfed him and came back with the child in her hand, eating a piece of date. She said, "I have breastfed him and he is now eating." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then gave him to a Muslim man and ordered them to dig a hole up to her chest. He then ordered his companions and they stoned her. Khalid bin Al-Waleed threw a stone at her with which something from her blood splashed on his clothes. He cursed her, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Do not curse her, O Khalid, for she has repented with a repentance that, if the people of Makkah repented with, it would be sufficient for them." Then he commanded that she be shrouded and prayed over. Bashir said, "Ibn Buraida narrated to me from his father that we, the companions of Muhammad ﷺ, used to talk that if the goat and this woman had not begged for forgiveness in the fourth time, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not have sought them."

Do not curse her. By the One in whose hand is my soul, she has repented with a repentance that if it were divided among the inhabitants of Makkah, it would have sufficed them all." The Prophet ﷺ ordered for her to be shrouded, prayed for her, and she was buried.

The Prophet of Allah ﷺ told her to go back. The next day, she came to him and confessed her sin again, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, purify me, for perhaps you will turn me away as you turned away Ibn Malik Al-Aslami."

Khaled bin Al-Walid came forward with a stone and struck her on the head. She bled on Khalid's face, and he cursed her. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ heard him cursing her and said, "Hold on, O Khaled bin Al-Walid, do not curse her. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, she has repented with a repentance that if the sin of Ma'iz bin Malik had repented with, he would have been forgiven." Then he ordered for her to be prayed upon and buried.
