A woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet ﷺ while she was pregnant after having illegal sexual relations. She said: O Prophet of Allah ﷺ, I've crossed boundaries ˹with a sin˺, so lift it from me (i.e. punish me for it). The Prophet of Allahﷺ called her guardian and said: Treat her well, and when she delivers bring her to me. He did accordingly.

Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ pronounced judgment on her and her clothes were tied around her and then he commanded and she was stoned ˹to death˺. He then prayed over her ˹dead body˺. Thereupon Umar said to him: O Prophet of Allah, you offer prayer for her, whereas she had committed adultery? Thereupon he said: "She has made such a repentance that if it were to be divided among seventy men of Madinah, it would be enough. Have you found any repentance better than this that she sacrificed her life for Allah ﷻ?"

فَأَمَرَ بِهَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ۔ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ زَنَتْ؟ فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً، لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ تَوْبَةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى؟»

'Umar said to him: "Are you praying for her even though she committed Zina?" he said: "She has repented in a manner that, if it were to be shared among seventy of the people of Al-Madinah it would suffice them.

He said, "She has repented with a repentance that if it were to be divided among seventy of the people of Madinah, it would suffice them. Have you found any better than a person who gives herself completely to Allah?"  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ زَنَتْ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ حَمَلَتْ مِنَ الزِّنَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَيَّ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلِيَّهَا فَقَالَ «أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَائْتِنِي بِهَا» فَفَعَلَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأُمْسِكَتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ «تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ؟» فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ»  

[Machine] "A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'I have committed adultery, so establish the punishment on me.' She was pregnant at the time. He ordered her close relative to treat her kindly until she delivered. After she gave birth, he ordered that her clothes be brought and she was stoned to death. Then he prayed for her. 'Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you are praying for her even though she committed adultery?' He replied, 'By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, she has repented so sincerely that if her repentance were to be divided among seventy of the people of Madinah, it would be sufficient for all of them. Have you found anyone better than a person who gives herself up to Allah?'"  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلِيَّ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ فَأَمَرَ وَلِيَّهَا أَنْ يُحْسِنَ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ أَمَرَ بِثِيَابِهَا فَشُكَّتَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ رَجَمَهَا وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ؟ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ»  

a woman from Juhainah came to the Messenger of Allah sand said: "I have committed Zina." And she was committed Zina." And She was pregnant. He handed her over to her guardian and said: "Look after her, and when she gave birth, he brought her to him. He ordered that her garment be wrapped around her, then he offered the funeral prayer for her. 'Umar said to him: "Are you praying for her even though she committed Zina?" he said: "She has repented in a manner that, if it were to be shared among seventy of the people of Al-Madinah it would suffice them. Have you ever seen repentance better than the one who sacrificed herself for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime?" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1957)  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ أَتَتْ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى وَلِيِّهَا فَقَالَ أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَأْتِنِي بِهَا فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ جَاءَ بِهَا «فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابُهَا ثُمَّ رَجَمَهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا» فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ قَالَ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ  

Allah's Apostle, I have done something for which (prescribed punishment) must be imposed upon me, so impose that. Allah's Apostle ﷺ called her master and said: Treat her well, and when she delivers bring her to me. He did accordingly. Then Allah's Apostle ﷺ pronounced judgment about her and her clothes were tied around her and then he commanded and she was stoned to death. He then prayed over her (dead body). Thereupon Umar said to him: Allah's Apostle, you offer prayer for her, whereas she had committed adultery! Thereupon he said: She has made such a repentance that if it were to be divided among seventy men of Medina, it would be enough. Have you found any repentance better than this that she sacr ficed her life for Allah, the Majestic? (Using translation from Muslim 1696a)   

أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَيَّ فَدَعَا وَلِيَّهَا فَقَالَ أَحْسِنْ إِلَى هَذِهِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَائْتِ بِهَا فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا أُتِيَ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَشَكَتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابَهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ زَنَتْ؟ قَالَ قَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ لَوَسِعَتْهُمْ وَهَلْ وَجَدَتْ تَوْبَةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْ جَادَتْ بِمُهْجَةِ نَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ؟  

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 Medina, 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4440)

[Machine] A woman from Juhayna confessed to the Prophet ﷺ about adultery and said, "I am pregnant." The Prophet ﷺ called her guardian and advised him to treat her kindly and inform him when she gives birth. He did so and informed the Prophet ﷺ, who then ordered that her clothes be tightened on her and commanded her stoning. After that, he offered the funeral prayer for her.  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ اعْتَرَفَتْ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالزِّنَا وَقَالَتْ إِنِّي حُبْلَى فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَلِيَّهَا فَقَالَ «أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَأَخْبِرْنِي فَفَعَلَ فَأَخْبَرَ بِهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَشُكَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابَهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا»  

[Machine] A woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet ﷺ while she was pregnant from an illicit affair. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded her guardian to treat her well. When she gave birth, bring the baby to me." He did so, and the Prophet ﷺ ordered her to be covered with her clothes. Then he ordered her to be stoned. After that, he prayed for her and said to Umar, "O Messenger of Allah, do you pray for her while she committed adultery?" He replied, "She has sincerely repented to a degree that if it was distributed amongst the people of Madinah, it would suffice them. Have you seen anything better than a person who has gone so far in improving herself?" 16952 And Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, and Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Hane narrated to me from Abu Ali al-Qabbani, who narrated from Ubaydullah ibn Sa'id, who narrated from Mu'adh ibn Hisham, who narrated from my father, who mentioned it with its chain of narration and its meaning except that he said, "if it was distributed amongst seventy of the people of Madinah, it would suffice them. Have you found anything better than a person who has gone so far in sacrificing herself for Allah?"
