[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
