Musnad AhmedIt was narrated that
a woman who had committed zina was brought to "Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه), and he ordered that she be stoned. They took her to stone her, and were met by ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) who said: What is this? They said: She committed zina, and "Umar ordered that she be stoned, ‘Ali took her from them and sent them back. They went back to "Umar (رضي الله عنه) who said: Why have you come back? They said: "Ali (رضي الله عنه) sent us back. He said: "Ali has only done this because of something he knows. So he sent for "Ali who was somewhat angry. He said: Why did you send these people back? He said: Didn"t you hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “The Pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he wakes up, from the minor until he grows up and from the insane until he comes to his senses.” ‘Umar said: Yes I did. "Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:This is the insane woman of the tribe of Banu so and so, Perhaps he came to her when she was in that state. ʻUmar (رضي الله عنه) said: I do not know. He [‘Ali] said: And I do not know. And he did not stone her.
