وَ رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "أَتَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ فَجَرْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ بِوَجْهِهِ عَنْهَا فَتَحَوَّلَتْ حَتَّى اِسْتَقْبَلَتْ وَجْهَهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ فَجَرْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا بِوَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ اِسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ فَجَرْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا ثُمَّ اِسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ فَجَرْتُ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُبِسَتْ وَ كَانَتْ حَامِلاً فَتَرَبَّصَ بِهَا حَتَّى وَضَعَتْ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَحُفِرَ لَهَا حَفِيرَةٌ فِي اَلرَّحَبَةِ وَ خَاطَ عَلَيْهَا ثَوْباً جَدِيداً وَ أَدْخَلَهَا اَلْحُفْرَةَ إِلَى اَلْحَقْوِ وَ مَوْضِعِ اَلثَّدْيَيْنِ وَ أَغْلَقَ بَابَ اَلرَّحَبَةِ وَ رَمَاهَا بِحَجَرٍ وَ قَالَ " بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ اَللَّهُمَّ عَلَى تَصْدِيقِ كِتَابِكَ، وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ " ثُمَّ أَمَرَ قَنْبَرَ فَرَمَاهَا بِحَجَرٍ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ وَ قَالَ "يَا قَنْبَرُ اِئْذَنْ لِأَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ " فَدَخَلُوا فَرَمَوْهَا بِحَجَرٍ حَجَرٍ ثُمَّ قَامُوا لاَ يَدْرُونَ أَ يُعِيدُونَ حِجَارَتَهُمْ أَوْ يَرْمُونَ بِحِجَارَةٍ غَيْرِهَا وَ بِهَا رَمَقٌ فَقَالُوا يَا قَنْبَرُ أَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّا قَدْ رَمَيْنَاهَا بِحِجَارَتِنَا وَ بِهَا رَمَقٌ فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ "عُودُوا فِي حِجَارَتِكُمْ" فَعَادُوا حَتَّى قُضِيَتْ فَقَالُوا لَهُ فَقَدْ مَاتَتْ فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ "فَادْفَعُوهَا إِلَى أَوْلِيَائِهَا وَ مُرُوهُمْ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا بِهَا كَمَا يَصْنَعُونَ بِمَوْتَاهُمْ" ".
Yunus ibn Ya'qub narrated from Abu Maryam, who narrated from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) that a woman came to Commander of the Faithful (a.s) and said: "I have committed adultery." Imam (a.s) turned his face away from her. She moved to face Imam (a.s) again and repeated: "I have committed adultery," but Imam (a.s) turned away once more. She repeated it a third and then a fourth time. After the fourth confession, Imam (a.s) ordered that she be detained. It was discovered that she was pregnant, so Imam (a.s) waited until she gave birth. Afterward, Imam (a.s) commanded that a pit be dug for her in the open space of Rahbah. Imam (a.s) dressed her in a new garment and placed her into the pit up to her waist and chest level. Imam (a.s) then closed the gate of Rahbah and threw a stone at her, saying, "In the name of Allah (swt). O' Allah (swt), in confirmation of Your Book and the Sunnah of Your Prophet." Then Imam (a.s) instructed Qanbar to throw a stone at her. Afterward, Imam (a.s) returned to his house and said: "O' Qanbar, permit the companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) to enter." They entered and began stoning her, each throwing a stone. When they were unsure whether to reuse the same stones or throw new ones while she was still alive, they said: "O' Qanbar, inform him that we have stoned her with our stones, but she is still alive. What should we do?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Return to your stones," and they continued until she died. They asked: "She has now died, what should we do with her?" Imam (a.s) said: "Hand her over to her family and instruct them to treat her as they would their deceased."
