A woman from Juhaynah confessed to adultery before the Prophet and said that she was pregnant. He summoned her guardian and told him to treat her well and return after she had given birth. When he did, the Prophet ordered that her clothes be secured around her and that she be stoned. He then performed the funeral prayer for her. ʿUmar asked how he could stone her and then pray for her. The Prophet replied: ‘She has repented with a repentance so great that, if divided among seventy people of Madinah, it would suffice them. Could you find a better act than giving her life for Allah?’ The report is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.
