It is narrated from Abdur Rahman Salmi that a woman was brought to Umar, who had been extremely weak due to thirst and in that condition she met a shepherd and asked him for a drink of water.
The shepherd refused to give water to her unless she submitted to him sexually. The woman was helpless and she agreed. The Caliph sought the counsel of companions regarding this.
Ali (a.s.) said: “She was under compulsion and in my view, you must free her, without penalizing her in any way.”
So, the Caliph freed her.
(Sunan Baihaqi, 8:236; Riyazun Nazara, 2:196 [3/144])
