Ma'iz came to the Prophet ﷺ and admitted (having committed adultery) four times in his presence so he ordered him to be stoned to death, but said to Huzzal: If you had covered him with your garment, it would have been better for you.  

أبو داود:٤٣٧٧حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ مَاعِزًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ وَقَالَ لِهَزَّالٍ لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ  

abudawud:4378Muḥammad b. ʿUbayd > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Yaḥyá > Ibn al-Munkadir > Hazzāl Amar Māʿiz

Huzzal had ordered Ma’iz to go to the prophet ﷺ and tell him(about his having committed adultery).  

أبو داود:٤٣٧٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ أَنَّ هَزَّالاً أَمَرَ مَاعِزًا

أَنْ يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَيُخْبِرَهُ
