[Machine] Ma'iz ibn Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery, so establish the punishment prescribed in the Book of Allah for me." The Prophet turned away from him four times, but each time Ma'iz persisted in his confession. At the fourth time, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and stone him." When the stones touched him, Ma'iz became agitated, and in extreme pain. Then, Abdullah ibn Unais emerged from the outskirts and threw a piece of a donkey's thigh on him, causing him to die. The people stoned him until he was killed. The incident was later mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, who mentioned Ma'iz's escape and said, "Why did you not leave him alone? Perhaps he would have repented and Allah would have accepted his repentance."  

جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ» فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ جَزِعَ فَاشْتَدَّ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ مِنْ بَادِيَتِهِ فَرَمَاهُ بِوَظِيفِ حِمَارٍ فَصَرَعَهُ وَرَمَاهُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ فَذَكِرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِرَارُهُ فَقَالَ «هَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, establish the punishment prescribed by Allah upon me." He turned him away four times. Then the Prophet ﷺ commanded that he be stoned. When the stones hit him, he tried to escape but was caught by Abdullah bin Unais from his tribe who struck him with a stick and killed him. Abdullah then came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of the incident. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why did you not leave him? Perhaps he would repent, and then Allah would accept his repentance." Then he said, "O Hzal (the nickname of Abdullah), it would have been better for you if you had covered him with your garment."  

أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ أَرْبَعَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِرَجْمِهِ فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ خَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ وَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ مِنْ نَادِي قَوْمِهِ بِوَظِيفِ حِمَارٍ فَضَرَبَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَحَدَّثَهُ بِأَمْرِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ فَيَتُوبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا هَزَّالُ لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ»  

[Machine] A goat came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery. So, establish the punishment upon me according to the Book of Allah." The Prophet turned away from it. The goat repeated its statement four times, but the Prophet turned away from it each time. Then he said, "Take it and stone it." When the stones touched it, it became agitated and struggled. Abdullah ibn Unais came from his village and threw a piece of brick at it, causing its death. The people stoned it until it was killed. It was then mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ that it had run away. He said, "Why did you not leave it alone? Perhaps it would have repented, and Allah would have accepted its repentance." O Hazal, if only you had covered it with your garment, that would have been better for you than what you have done. Some narrations mention that Yazid ibn Nuaim threw a piece of camel dung, and others mention a piece of camel's beard.  

جَاءَ مَاعِزٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ جَزِعَ فَاشْتَدَّ فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ مِنْ بَادِيَتِهِ فَرَمَاهُ بِوَظِيفِ حِمَارٍ فَصَرَعَهُ وَرَمَاهُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ فَذُكِرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِرَارَهُ فَقَالَ هَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ فَلَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ فَيَتُوبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ يَا هَزَّالُ لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ مِمَّا صَنَعْتَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ بِوَظِيفِ بَعِيرٍ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بِلَحْيِ بَعِيرٍ
