Bayhaqi Q16957 — Those who permitted that neither the ruler

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجْمِ مَاعِزٍ، وَلَمْ يَحْضُرْهُ، وَأَمَرَ أُنَيْسًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ امْرَأَةً فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ رَجَمَهَا، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَعْلِمْنِي لِأَحْضُرَهَا.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him) be stoned, and he himself was not present there; and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) to go to a woman, and if she confessed (to adultery), to stone her; and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say, 'Inform me so that I may be present (at the time of her stoning).'"
