THE WOMAN FROM GHAMID
who was stoned for fornication is from the noble Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Buraydah said,
"A woman of Ghamid came to the Prophet and said, 'I have committed fornication.'
He said, 'Go back.'
She returned, and on the next day she came to him again and said, 'Perhaps you want to send me back as you did to Ma'iz bin Malik.
I swear by Allah, I am pregnant.'
He said to her, 'Go back.'
She then returned and came to him the next day.
He said to her, 'Go back until you give birth to a child.'
She then returned.
When she gave birth to a child, she brought the child to him and said, 'Here it is!
I have given birth to it.'
He said, 'Go back, and suckle him until you wean him.'
When she had weaned him, she brought him (the boy) to [the Prophet] with something in his hand which he was eating.
The boy was then given to a certain man of the Muslims, and the Prophet gave the command regarding her.
So a pit was dug for her, and he gave the order and she was stoned to death.
"Khalid was one of those who were throwing stones at her.
He threw a stone at her.
When a drop blood fell on his cheeks, he insulted her.
The Prophet ﷺ said to him:
مَهْلاً يَا خَالِدُ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ تَابَتْ تَوْبَةً لَوْ تَابَهَا صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ لَغُفِرَ لَهُ
"Be easy, Khalid I swear by Him in whose Hand is my soul, she has repented to such an extent that if one who wrongfully takes taxes were to repent to a similar extent, he would be forgiven.'
Then she was prayed for and buried."
[Sunan Abi Dawud 4442]
