Hazrat Sha'bi narrates that a woman from the Sharaha tribe of Hamdan was brought to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) while she was pregnant from adultery. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave orders regarding her, so she was imprisoned. When she delivered the child she was carrying, she was brought out on Thursday, and he gave her a hundred lashes, and on Friday she was stoned to death.

Hazrat Abu Sufyan narrates from his elders that a woman's husband had disappeared, then he returned to find his wife pregnant. So he brought the woman before Hazrat Umar, who ordered her to be stoned. Upon this, Hazrat Mu'adh said: Even though you have justification against this woman, you have no justification against the child in her womb. So Hazrat Umar said: Imprison this woman until she gives birth. The woman gave birth to a child who had two teeth. When the father saw him, he said: My son, my son. This news reached Hazrat Umar, who said: Women have become incapable of giving birth to people like Mu'adh. If it were not for Mu'adh, Umar would have perished.

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah narrates that a woman was brought to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Indeed, she had committed adultery, so he imprisoned her until she gave birth to the child and her postnatal bleeding stopped and she became pure.

The aforementioned statement of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is also transmitted with this chain of narration from Hazrat Abdur Rahman.

Hazrat Dhuhl bin Ka'b narrates that Hazrat Umar intended to stone to death a woman who had committed adultery and was pregnant. Hazrat Mu'adh said to him: Then you would be unjust to her. What is your opinion regarding the soul that is in her womb? What sin has it committed? For what reason would you kill two souls in place of one? So Hazrat Umar left the woman until she gave birth, then he stoned her.

Hazrat Zadhan narrates that, on the order of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), the woman was completely wrapped in a cloak.

Hazrat Masood, who is a member of the family of Abu Darda, narrates that when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stoned Shuraha, people began to curse her. Upon this, he said, "O people! Do not curse her. Because when a person is punished with the whip, it becomes an expiation for him. The recompense for a debt is in exchange for the debt."

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila narrates that when witnesses would testify to adultery before Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he would order the witnesses to throw stones first, then he would throw stones, then the people would throw stones. And when there was a confession, he himself would begin, so he would throw stones, then the people would throw stones.

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah bin Masood narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people, indeed adultery is of two kinds: hidden adultery and open adultery. As for hidden adultery, it is when witnesses testify to the act of adultery, so the witnesses will be the first to throw stones, then the ruler, then the people. And open adultery is when pregnancy becomes apparent or there is a confession, so the Imam will be the first to throw a stone. The narrator says that there were some stones in your hand, so you threw a stone at that woman which struck her in the hole of her ear, so she started turning around and the people threw stones.

The aforementioned statement of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is also transmitted with this chain from Hazrat Abdur Rahman in exactly the same wording.
