It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his mule, and the mule was standing. People brought a pregnant woman to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The woman said: I have committed adultery, so stone me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Conceal yourself with the covering of Allah, and cover yourself. So she went back, but then she returned again while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was still mounted on his mule. She said: O Messenger of Allah! Stone me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Conceal yourself with the covering of Allah, and cover yourself. So she went back, but then she came a third time, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing. This time, she held the reins of the Prophet’s mule and said: I beseech you by Allah, stone me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and come back after you have given birth to the child. So she gave birth to the child and came again, and spoke to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go and come back after you are purified from blood. So she went away and later came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have become pure. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent women to her to examine whether she had become pure from blood. They came and testified before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that she had indeed become pure. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a pit to be dug up to her chest, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and other Muslims also gathered. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a pebble the size of a chickpea and threw it at the woman, then he moved aside and said to the Muslims: Stone her, but protect her face. When she died, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to be taken out of the pit, then he offered her funeral prayer and said: If her reward were distributed among the people of Hijaz, it would be sufficient for them.
