ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ تَوَهَّمَ فِي مَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قِلَّةَ عَقْلٍ، وَعِلْمٍ مِمَّا يَقُولُ فَلِذَلِكَ رَدَّهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ
[Machine] Maa'iz ibn Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have committed a grave sin." The Prophet ﷺ turned away from him multiple times. Maa'iz then asked the people, "Is there a punishment for me?" They replied, "There is nothing wrong with you except that you have come seeking a punishment that can only be lifted from you by establishing the prescribed punishment." Maa'iz then asked them to take him to the area of Gharkad, where they did not dig a hole or tie him up. Instead, they stoned him with pottery, bones, and clumps of earth. Maa'iz complained and struggled, but they persisted until he calmed down. Later, the Prophet ﷺ ascended the pulpit in the evening and praised Allah and spoke highly of Him. He then said, "What is wrong with people that when we engage in battle, one of them leaves their family behind, and they would have someone guardian-like as the nanny goat? By Allah, if I was to give preference to anyone in this matter, I would have preferred to take action against him." The Prophet ﷺ did not curse him nor ask for forgiveness for him.
أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ فَاحِشَةً فَرَدَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِرَارًا قَالَ فَسَأَلَ قَوْمَهُ «أَبِهِ بَأْسٌ؟ » فَقِيلَ مَا بِهِ بَأْسٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ أَتَى أَمْرًا يَرَى أَنَّهُ لَا يُخْرِجُهُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقَامَ الْحَدُّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَمَرَنَا فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ قَالَ فَلَمْ نَحْفُرْ لَهُ وَلَمْ نُوثِقْهُ فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِخَزَفٍ وَعِظَامٍ وَجَنْدَلٍ قَالَ فَاشْتَكَى فَسَعَى فَاشْتَدَدْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَأَتَى الْحَرَّةَ فَانْتَصَبَ لَنَا فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِجَلَامِيدِهَا حَتَّى سَكَنَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَا بَعْدُ مَا بَالَ أَقْوَامٍ إِذَا غَزَوْنَا تَخَلَّفَ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي عِيَالِنَا لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ أَمَا إِنَّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أُوتِيَ بِأَحَدٍ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا نَكَّلْتُ بِهِ» قَالَ وَلَمْ يَسُبَّهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ
