حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ، حَدَّثَنِي
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا، فَرَدَّهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَاعْتَرَفَ،
"فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحُفِرَ لَهُ حُفْرَةٌ فَجُعِلَ فِيهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ، وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَرْجُمُوهُ".
Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated from his father (Sayyiduna Buraidah, may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came whose name was Ma'iz bin Malik. He confessed to committing adultery before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rejected him three times. Then, when he came the fourth time and confessed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that a pit be dug for him up to his chest. He was placed in it, and the people were commanded by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to stone him. Thus, the people killed him in this manner.
