[Machine] I saw Ma'iz bin Malik brought to the Prophet when a man, who was short and crippled, brought him. The man had no cloak on him, so he testified against himself four times that he had committed adultery. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: “Perhaps you just saw (what was done)?” He said: “No, by Allah, I have committed adultery.” So he ordered him to be stoned to death, and he (the Prophet) recited the verses of stoning.
رَأَيْتُ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ جِيءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ قَصِيرٌ أَعْضَلُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ أَنَّهُ قَدْ زَنَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَعَلَّكَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ قَدْ زَنَى الْأَخِرُ فَرُجِمَ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ أَلَا كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَلَفَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ أَلَا وَإِنِّي لَا أُوتَى بِأَحَدِهِمْ إِلَّا جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالًا
