Hadith 4434
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق الْأَهْوَازِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بُشَيْرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَتَحَدَّثُ : " أَنَّ الْغَامِدِيَّةَ ، وَمَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ لَوْ رَجَعَا بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِهِمَا ، أَوْ قَالَ : لَوْ لَمْ يَرْجِعَا بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِهِمَا لَمْ يَطْلُبْهُمَا ، وَإِنَّمَا رَجَمَهُمَا عِنْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ " .
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: We, the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, used to talk mutually: Would that al-Ghamidiyyah and Maiz ibn Malik had withdrawn after their confession; or he said: Had they not withdrawn after their confession, he would not have pursued them (for punishment). He had them stoned after the fourth (confession).
