Hadith 6699
عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا فَجَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ مَرَّةً فَرَدَّهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَرَدَّهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَاعْتَرَفَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَرَدَّهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّكَ إِنِ اعْتَرَفْتَ الرَّابِعَةَ رَجَمَكَ قَالَ فَاعْتَرَفَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَجَسَّهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا مَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Ma'iz bin Malik came and confessed to adultery once, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him back. He came again and confessed to adultery a second time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again sent him back. He came again and confessed a third time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also sent him back this time. I said to Ma'iz: If you confess a fourth time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will have you stoned. Despite this, he came and confessed a fourth time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) detained him and then inquired about him from the people. They said: We know only good about him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to be stoned.
