(Book 41, Hadith 5) #36587
Punishment for Adultery

SUMMARY: A woman who committed adultery was punished by stoning after she gave birth and weaned the baby.

Malik related to me from Yaqub ibn Zayd ibn Talha from his father Zayd ibn Talha that Abdullah ibn Abi Mulayka informed him that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and informed him that she had committed adultery and was pregnant. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her, "Go away until you give birth". When she had given birth, she came to him. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her, "Go away until you have suckled and weaned the baby". When she had weaned the baby, she came to him. He said, "Go and entrust the baby to someone". She entrusted the baby to someone and then came to him. He gave the order and she was stoned.
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، زَيْدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا زَنَتْ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ اذْهَبِي حَتَّى تَضَعِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ جَاءَتْهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ اذْهَبِي حَتَّى تُرْضِعِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا أَرْضَعَتْهُ جَاءَتْهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبِي فَاسْتَوْدِعِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَاسْتَوْدَعَتْهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَرُجِمَتْ

This hadith is about a woman who committed adultery and was brought to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ told her to go away until she had given birth and then come back.

When she returned after weaning the baby, he ordered that she be stoned as punishment for her crime of adultery.
