A narrator named Abu Sufyan reports: Some of our elders have narrated this: A man came to Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Commander of the Faithful! I returned to my wife after two years, and she was pregnant." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the people about stoning the woman, so Sayyiduna Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Commander of the Faithful! You can punish the woman, but you cannot punish the child in her womb, so leave her until she gives birth." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) left her, and she gave birth to a boy whose front teeth protruded outward, as a result of which the man realized the resemblance of the child to himself. He said, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! This is my son." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Women have become incapable of giving birth to a child like Mu'adh. If it were not for Mu'adh, Umar would have perished."
