Hazrat Buraidah narrates that a woman from the tribe of Ghamid came and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I have committed adultery and indeed I wish that you purify me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her back. When the next day came, she said: O Prophet of Allah! Why did you send me back just as you sent Ma'iz bin Malik back? By Allah! Indeed, I am pregnant! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, go until you give birth to the child. So when she gave birth to the child, she brought the child wrapped in old, torn clothes and said: I have given birth to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and nurse him until you wean him. When the woman weaned the child, she brought him while he was holding a piece of bread in his hand. The woman said: O Prophet of Allah! Indeed, I have weaned him and indeed he has eaten food. So the child was handed over to a man from among the Muslims. Then, by the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), a pit was dug up to her chest and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the people, so they stoned her. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid brought a stone and struck her head, and the blood splattered onto the face of Hazrat Khalid bin Walid. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard him speaking ill of the woman and said: Wait, O Khalid bin Walid! By Him in Whose hand is my soul, indeed she has repented such a repentance that if a tax collector had repented like this, he would have been forgiven. Then, by the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), her funeral prayer was offered and she was buried.
