8- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (a.s) قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَطَهِّرْنِي فَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُرْجَمَ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (a.s) فَقَالَ كَيْفَ زَنَيْتِ فَقَالَتْ مَرَرْتُ بِالْبَادِيَةِ فَأَصَابَنِي عَطَشٌ شَدِيدٌ فَاسْتَسْقَيْتُ أَعْرَابِيّاً فَأَبَى أَنْ يَسْقِيَنِي إِلا أَنْ أُمَكِّنَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي فَلَمَّا أَجْهَدَنِي الْعَطَشُ وَخِفْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَقَانِي فَأَمْكَنْتُهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (a.s) تَزْوِيجٌ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ.


8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Nuh ibn Shu’ayb from Ali ibn Hassan from ‘ Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Kathir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said that once a woman came to ‘Umar and said, ‘I have committed fornication, so cleanse me/ He commanded to stone her to death ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s), was asked about it and he asked, ‘How did you commit fornication?’ She replied, ‘I was passing through wilderness and I became thirsty severely. I ask an Arab man for water but he refused unless I made myself available for him. When thirst increased and I feared for my life he gave me water and I availed myself for him.’ ’Amir al-Mu’minin said, ‘This is marriage by the Lord of al- Ka’bah.’” (She must have been unmarried so al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) was possible).
