[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for Ma'iz ibn Malik, a man who was rahter short, with strong muscles, and confessed to him about committing adultery. The Messenger turned away from him, but he came to him from another angle, and again the Messenger turned away from him. He said, "I don't know if it happened twice or thrice." Then, he ordered for him to be stoned. The Messenger ﷺ said, "Whenever we go out for battle, one of them will follow behind someone, his neck like that of a goat, and he would grant one of them permission to have intercourse. Indeed, Allah (SWT) would not allow me to spare anyone of them without making him an example for them or punishing him on their behalf." Saeed ibn Jubair mentioned this to me and said, "Reject it four times."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِمَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَجُلٍ أَشْعَرَ قَصِيرٍ ذِي عَضَلَاتٍ فَأَقَرَّ لَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَأَتَاهُ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ الْآخَرِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ وَقَالَ كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا غَازِينَ خَلَفَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَنِبُّ نَبِيبَ التَّيْسِ يَمْنَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْكُثْبَةَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَا يُمَكِّنُنِي مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالًا عَنْهُنَّ أَوْ نَكَّلْتُهُ عَنْهُنَّ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ رَدَّهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ
