عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْقُرَشِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِ رَجُلٍ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ فَرَّ وَفِي لَفْظٍ فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ مَسَّ الْحِجَارَةِ خَرَجَ فَهَرَبَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَهَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ
Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Quraishi says: The person who was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was between Makkah and Madinah when he ordered a man to be stoned. When stones struck him, he ran away. In another narration: When he felt the pain of the stones, he got up and ran away. When this matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Why did you not let him go?
