Ali said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me Al Zubair and Al Miqdad and said “Go till you come to the meadow of Khakh for there Is a woman there travelling on a Camel who has a letter which you must take from her. We went off racing one another on our horses till we came to the meadow and when we found the woman, we aid “Bring out the letter. She said “I have no letter”. I said “You must bring out the letter else we strip off your clothes”. She then brought it out from the tresses and we took it to the Prophet ﷺ. It was addressed from Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah to some of the polytheists (in Makkah) giving them some information about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He asked “What is this, Hatib? He replied, Messenger of Allah ﷺ do not be hasty with me. I have been a man attached as an ally to the Quraish and am not one of them while those of the Quraish (i. e. the emigrants) have relationship with them by which they guarded their family in Makkah. As I did not have that advantage I wanted to give them some help for which they might guard my relations. I swear by Allaah I am not guilty of unbelief or apostasy (from my religion). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “he has told you the truth. Umar said “Let me cut off this hypocrite’s head. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “He was present at Badr and what do you know, perhaps Allaah might look with pity on those who were present at Badr? And said “Do what you wish, I have forgiven you. ”

Hadith 4420
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، قَالَ : ذَكَرْتُ لِعَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ قِصَّةَ مَاعِزِ ابْنِ مَالِكٍ ، فَقَالَ لِي : حَدَّثَنِي حَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ذَلِكَ ، مِنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَهَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ مَنْ شِئْتُمْ مِنْ رِجَالِ أَسْلَمَ مِمَّنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ ، قَالَ : وَلَمْ أَعْرِفْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يُحَدِّثُونَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُمْ حِينَ ذَكَرُوا لَهُ جَزَعَ مَاعِزٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ حِينَ أَصَابَتْهُ : أَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ ، وَمَا أَعْرِفُ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَ الرَّجُلَ ، " إِنَّا لَمَّا خَرَجْنَا بِهِ فَرَجَمْنَاهُ فَوَجَدَ مَسَّ الْحِجَارَةِ ، صَرَخَ بِنَا : يَا قَوْمُ رُدُّونِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنَّ قَوْمِي قَتَلُونِي وَغَرُّونِي مِنْ نَفْسِي ، وَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرُ قَاتِلِي ، فَلَمْ نَنْزَعْ عَنْهُ حَتَّى قَتَلْنَاهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ ، قَالَ : فَهَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ وَجِئْتُمُونِي بِهِ لِيَسْتَثْبِتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُ فَأَمَّا لِتَرْكِ حَدٍّ فَلَا " ، قَالَ : فَعَرَفْتُ وَجْهَ الْحَدِيثِ .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: Muhammad ibn Ishaq said: I mentioned the story of Maiz ibn Malik to Asim ibn Umar ibn Qatadah. He said to me: Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib said to me: Some men of the tribe of Aslam whom I do not blame and whom you like have transmitted to me the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Why did you not leave him alone? He said: But I did not understand this tradition. So I went to Jabir ibn Abdullah and said (to him): Some men of the tribe of Aslam narrate that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said when they mentioned to him the anxiety of Maiz when the stones hurt him: "Why did you not leave him alone?' But I do not know this tradition. He said: My cousin, I know this tradition more than the people. I was one of those who had stoned the man. When we came out with him, stoned him and he felt the effect of the stones, he cried: O people! return me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. My people killed me and deceived me; they told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not kill me. We did not keep away from him till we killed him. When we returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we informed him of it. He said: Why did you not leave him alone and bring him to me? and he said this so that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ might ascertain it from him. But he did not say this to abandon the prescribed punishment. He said: I then understood the intent of the tradition.
