[Machine] Goat ibn Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Reveal to me the book of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ turned away from him four times, then ordered his stoning. When the stones touched him, Abdul Rahman said that he confessed once. When he was being stoned, he panicked and came out, distressed. Abdullah bin Unais or Anas also came out from his gathering and threw him with a piece of donkey's dung, killing him. He then came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of his actions. The Prophet ﷺ spoke to him about his action and said, "Why did you not leave him? Perhaps he would have repented and Allah would have accepted his repentance." Then he said, "Oh Hazal, if only you had covered him with your garment, it would have been better for you."  

أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُالْحِجَارَةُ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَلَمَّا عَضَّتْهُ جَزَعَ فَخَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ وَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ أَوْ أَنَسُ مِنِ نَادِيهِ فَرَمَاهُ بِوَظِيفِ حِمَارٍ فَصَرَعَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَحَدَّثَهُ بِأَمْرِهِ فَقَالَ هَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ فَيَتُوبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا هَزَّالُ لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ  

[Machine] Goat bin 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 upon me." He turned away from him. The man repeated his confession four times, and each time the Prophet ﷺ turned away from him. Finally, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and stone him." When the stones touched him, he ran away, but Abdullah pursued him and struck him with a stick made from the shoulder bone of a camel, causing his death. The people then stoned him until he died. News of his escape reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he asked, "Why did you not leave him? Perhaps he would have repented and Allah would have accepted his repentance."  

جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ» فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ جَمَزَ فَاشْتَدَّ فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مِنْ بَادِيَتِهِ فَرَمَاهُ بِوَظِيفِ حِمَارٍ فَصَرَعَهُ فَرَمَاهُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ فَذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِرَارَهُ فَقَالَ «هَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ فَيَتُوبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ؟»  

[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.
