وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِى لَفْظِ الْحَدِيثِ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الأَسْلَمِىَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى قَدْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَزَنَيْتُ وَإِنِّى أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِى. فَرَدَّهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى قَدْ زَنَيْتُ. فَرَدَّهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ « أَتَعْلَمُونَ بِعَقْلِهِ بَأْسًا تُنْكِرُونَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ». فَقَالُوا مَا نَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ وَفِىَّ الْعَقْلِ مِنْ صَالِحِينَا فِيمَا نُرَى فَأَتَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَيْضًا فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّهُ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ وَلاَ بِعَقْلِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الرَّابِعَةَ حَفَرَ لَهُ حُفْرَةً ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ. قَالَ فَجَاءَتِ الْغَامِدِيَّةُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَطَهِّرْنِى. وَإِنَّهُ رَدَّهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَ تَرُدُّنِى لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرُدَّنِى كَمَا رَدَدْتَ مَاعِزًا فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لَحُبْلَى. قَالَ « إِمَّا لاَ فَاذْهَبِى حَتَّى تَلِدِى ». فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ أَتَتْهُ بِالصَّبِىِّ فِى خِرْقَةٍ قَالَتْ هَذَا قَدْ وَلَدْتُهُ. قَالَ « اذْهَبِى فَأَرْضِعِيهِ حَتَّى تَفْطِمِيهِ ». فَلَمَّا فَطَمَتْهُ أَتَتْهُ بِالصَّبِىِّ فِى يَدِهِ كِسْرَةُ خُبْزٍ فَقَالَتْ هَذَا يَا نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ قَدْ فَطَمْتُهُ وَقَدْ أَكَلَ الطَّعَامَ. فَدَفَعَ الصَّبِىَّ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفِرَ لَهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهَا وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ فَرَجَمُوهَا فَيُقْبِلُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بِحَجَرٍ فَرَمَى رَأْسَهَا فَتَنَضَّحَ الدَّمُ عَلَى وَجْهِ خَالِدٍ فَسَبَّهَا فَسَمِعَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- سَبَّهُ إِيَّاهَا فَقَالَ « مَهْلاً يَا خَالِدُ فَوَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ تَابَهَا صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ لَغُفِرَ لَهُ ». ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَدُفِنَتْ.

'Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated from his father that Ma'iz bin Malik Al-Aslami came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have wronged myself and committed Zina, and I want you to purify me.'' But he turned him away. The next day he came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed Zina;" but he turned him away a second time, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent word to his people saying: "Do you know whether there is anything wrong with his mind?" They said: "All we know is that he is of sound mind, and he is one of our righteous men as far as we can tell." He came to him (s.a.w) a third time, and he sent word to them again asking them, and they told him: "There is nothing wrong with him or his mind." When he came a fourth time, he had a pit dug for him then he ordered that he be stoned. Then the Ghamidi woman came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed Zina, purify me;" but he turned her away. The next day she said: "O Messenger of Allah, why are you turning me away? Perhaps you are turning me away as you turned Ma'iz away. But by Allah, I am pregnant." He said: "Then no (not now), go away until you give birth." When she gave birth, she brought the child to him wrapped in a cloth, and said: "Here he is, I have given birth." He said: "Go away and breastfeed him until he is weaned." When she had weaned him, she brought the boy to him, with a piece of bread in his hand and said: "Here, O Prophet of Allah, I have weaned him, and he is eating food." He handed the boy over to one of the Muslim men, then he ordered that a pit be dug for her, up to her chest, and he ordered the people to stone her. Khalid bin AI-Walid came forward with a stone, which he flung at her head. The blood spurted onto Khalid's face and he cursed her. The Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) heard him cursing her and he said: "Calm down, O Khalid! By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, she has repented in such a manner that if the Maks - collector repented like that, he would be forgiven." Then he ordered that the funeral prayer be offered for her, and she was buried.
