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.
Hadith 6700
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ مِنْ شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ مِنْ شِقِّهِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ أَدْبَرَ وَاشْتَدَّ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فِي يَدِهِ لَحْيُ جَمَلٍ فَضَرَبَهُ فَذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِرَارُهُ حِينَ مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ قَالَ فَهَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Ma'iz bin Malik Aslami came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. He came from the left side and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery, until he confessed before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) four times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take him away and stone him. The people took him away to stone him. When he was struck with stones, he turned his back and ran swiftly. Meanwhile, a man came from the front, in his hand was the jawbone of a camel, and he struck him with it and killed him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed that he had run away after being struck with stones, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then why did you not leave him alone?
Hadith 6701
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ أُتِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَادَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَتَنَحَّى تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى ثَنَّى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمَّا شَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ دَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَبِكَ جُنُونٌ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ أَحْصَنْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُ فَرَجَمْنَاهُ فِي الْمُصَلَّى فَلَمَّا أَذْلَقَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ هَرَبَ فَأَدْرَكْنَاهُ بِالْحَرَّةِ فَرَجَمْنَا
(Second chain) A man from among the Muslims was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), while he was sitting in the mosque. The man called out: O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away from him in avoidance. The man came before the Prophet’s face again and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again turned his face away from him in avoidance, until the man repeated it four times and bore witness against himself four times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and asked: Are you insane? He replied: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Are you married? He replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take him away and stone him. Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I was also among those who stoned him. We stoned him at the Eid ground. When the stones struck him, he ran away, but we caught him at Harrah and stoned him.
Hadith 6702
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ارْجِعْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَتَاهُ أَيْضًا فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ارْجِعْ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَا تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ مَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ هَلْ تَرَوْنَ بِهِ بَأْسًا أَوْ تُنْكِرُونَ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ شَيْئًا قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا نَرَى بِهِ بَأْسًا وَمَا نُنْكِرُ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا أَيْضًا فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ طَهِّرْنِي فَأَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ أَيْضًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ كَمَا قَالُوا لَهُ الْمَرَّةَ الْأُولَى مَا نَرَى بِهِ بَأْسًا وَمَا نُنْكِرُ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّابِعَةَ أَيْضًا فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَفَرْنَا لَهُ حُفْرَةً فَجُعِلَ فِيهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَرْجُمُوهُ وَقَالَ بُرَيْدَةُ كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَنَا أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ لَوْ جَلَسَ فِي رَحْلِهِ بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ لَمْ يَطْلُبْهُ وَإِنَّمَا رَجَمَهُ عِنْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man named Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery and I want you to purify me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Go back. He came again the next day and confessed to adultery before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Go back. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the people about him and said: What do you know about Ma'iz bin Malik Aslami? Do you think he is such and such, or do you have any objection to his intellect? The people said: O Messenger of Allah! We do not perceive anything wrong in him, nor do we have any objection to his intellect. Meanwhile, he came back to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a third time and confessed to adultery and said: O Messenger of Allah! Purify me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again called his people and inquired about him, and they gave the same answer as before: In our opinion, there is nothing wrong with him, nor is there any defect in his intellect. Meanwhile, Ma'iz came back to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a fourth time and confessed to adultery. This time, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order, and we dug a pit for him and buried him in it up to his chest, then the people were ordered to stone him. Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We used to talk among ourselves that if Ma'iz, after confessing to adultery three times, had sat in his house, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have summoned him, but when he confessed a fourth time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to be stoned.

He confessed yet again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away again, until when he had testified against himself four times, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Are you afflicted with madness?" He replied: "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are you married?" He replied: "Yes." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered, and he was stoned to death at the Eid prayer ground. When the stones struck him, he ran away, but he was caught and stoned until he died. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke good words about him, but did not perform his funeral prayer.

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It has reached me that you committed adultery with the slave girl of so-and-so. He said: Yes, it happened like that. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent him back, until he testified four times. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered and he was stoned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: This unfortunate person has committed adultery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. Then he confessed a second, third, and even a fourth time. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted from his ride. In another narration, it is mentioned: The man confessed once and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rejected him, until he confessed four times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted and ordered us, so we dug a small pit for him, which was not very deep, and he was stoned. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued the journey in a state of grief and sorrow, and we also traveled with him, until when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped at a place, that state left him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Abu Dharr! Did you not see your companion? He has been forgiven and admitted into Paradise.
