وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ رَفَعَهُ: "أَنَّ اِمْرَأَةً أَتَتْ عُمَرَ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي فَجَرْتُ فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ حَدَّ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهَا وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَاضِراً فَقَالَ "سَلْهَا كَيْفَ فَجَرْتِ" فَسَأَلَهَا فَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ فِي فَلاَةٍ مِنَ اَلْأَرْضِ فَأَصَابَنِي عَطَشٌ شَدِيدٌ فَرُفِعَتْ لِي خَيْمَةٌ فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَأَصَبْتُ فِيهَا رَجُلاً أَعْرَابِيّاً فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَاءً فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ أَنْ يَسْقِيَنِي إِلاَّ أَنْ أُمَكِّنَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي فَوَلَّيْتُ مِنْهُ هَارِبَةً فَاشْتَدَّ بِيَ اَلْعَطَشُ حَتَّى غَارَتْ عَيْنَايَ وَ ذَهَبَ لِسَانِي فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مِنِّي اَلْعَطَشُ أَتَيْتُهُ فَسَقَانِي وَ وَقَعَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "هَذِهِ اَلَّتِي قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَنِ اُضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بٰاغٍ وَ لاٰ عٰادٍ فَلاٰ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ غَيْرُ بَاغِيَةٍ وَ لاَ عَادِيَةٍ فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا" فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَوْ لاَ عَلِيٌّ لَهَلَكَ عُمَرُ ".
In the narration of Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Sa'id, it is reported that a woman came to Umar and said: "O' (political) Commander of the Faithful, I have committed fornication, so establish upon me the punishment of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic." Umar ordered that she be stoned. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s), the (divinely appointed) Commander of the Faithful, was present and said: "Ask her how she committed fornication." So they asked her, and she said: "I was in a desolate area of the land, and I was overtaken by severe thirst. Then, I saw a tent in the distance, so I went toward it and found an Arab man inside. I asked him for water, but he refused to give me any unless I allowed him access to myself. I turned away from him and fled, but my thirst intensified until my eyes sank in, and my tongue became dry. When the thirst overwhelmed me, I returned to him, and he gave me water to drink and then had his way with me." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) said: "This is the case that Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, referred to in His (swt) words: 'But whoever is compelled by necessity, neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him.' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:173). This woman neither sought it nor transgressed, so release her." Umar then said, "If not for Ali (a.s), Umar would have perished."
