[Machine] He was a prophet of Allah ﷺ. He went back and when it was the next day, he came to him again and confessed to him about adultery. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O Prophet of Allah, purify me." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ told him to go back and then sent to his people and asked them about him. He said, "Do you know Ma'iz ibn Malik? Do you see any harm from him or do you see anything wrong with his mind?" They said, "O Prophet of Allah, we do not see any harm from him and we do not see anything wrong with his mind." So he came to him again on the third day and said, "O Prophet of Allah, purify me, for I have committed adultery." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ then sent to his people and asked them about him as he had asked them before. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not see anything wrong with his mind and we do not see any harm from him." So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ commanded that a pit be dug for him and he was buried in it up to his chest. Then the people were commanded to stone him.

ahmad:22942 – Abū Nuʿaym > Bashīr b. al-Muhājir > ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah from his father

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a man called Ma'iz ibn Malik came to him and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have committed adultery and I want to be purified." The Prophet ﷺ told him to go back. The next day, the man came to him again and confessed his sin. The Prophet ﷺ told him to go back again. Then, the Prophet ﷺ sent a message to his people and asked them about the man. They replied, "O Prophet of Allah, we do not see any problem or defect in his intellect." The man came to the Prophet ﷺ a third time and confessed his sin. He asked the Prophet ﷺ to purify him. The Prophet ﷺ sent a message to his people again and asked them about the man, and they gave the same answer as before. The man came to the Prophet ﷺ a fourth time and confessed his sin. The Prophet ﷺ ordered a hole to be dug and the man was buried in it up to his chest. The Prophet ﷺ then ordered the people to stone him. Buraydah said, "We, the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, used to talk amongst ourselves and say that if Ma'iz ibn Malik had sat in his tent after confessing his sin three times, the Prophet ﷺ would not have bothered him. He was stoned only because he came to the Prophet ﷺ a fourth time and confessed his sin."  

أحمد:٢٢٩٤٢ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
