I was working in the market. A woman passed carrying a child. The people rushed towards her, and I also rushed along with them. I then went to the Prophet ﷺ while he was asking: Who is the father of this (child) who is with you? She remained silent. A young man by her side said: I am his father, Messenger of Allah! He then turned towards her and asked: Who is the father of this child with you? The young man said: I am his father, Messenger of Allah! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then looked at some of those who were around him and asked them about him. They said: We only know good (about him). The Prophet ﷺ said to him: Are you married? He said: Yes. So he gave orders regarding him and he was stoned to death. He (the narrator) said: We took him out, dug a pit for him and put him in it. We then threw stones at him until he died. A man then came asking about the man who was stoned. We brought him to the Prophet ﷺ and said: This man has come asking about the wicked man. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He is more agreeable than the fragrance of musk in the eyes of Allah. The man was his father. We then helped him in washing, shrouding and burying him. (The narrator said:) I do not know whether he said or did not say "in praying over him." This is the tradition of Abdah, and it is more accurate. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4435)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَاعِدًا يَعْتَمِلُ فِي السُّوقِ فَمَرَّتِ امْرَأَةٌ تَحْمِلُ صَبِيًّا فَثَارَ النَّاسُ وَثُرْتُ فِيمَنْ ثَارَ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَبُو هَذَا مَعَكِ؟» فَسَكَتَتْ فَقَالَ شَابٌّ بِحِذْائِهَا أَنَا أَبُوهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَبُو هَذَا مَعَكِ؟» فَسَكَتَتْ فَقَالَ الْفَتَى إِنَّهَا حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ حَدِيثَةُ عَهْدٍ بِخِزْيَةٍ وَلَيْسَتْ بِمُكَلِّمَتِكَ فَأَنَا أَبُوهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا مَا عَلِمْنَا إِلَّا خَيْرًا أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أُحْصِنْتَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ يُرْجَمُ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا بِهِ فَحَفَرْنَا لَهُ حَتَّى أَمْكَنَّا ثُمَّ رَمَيْنَاهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى هَدَأَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْنَا إِلَى مَجَالِسِنَا فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ شَيْخٌ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْمَرْجُومِ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْنَا بِتَلَابِيبِهِ فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْخَبِيثِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَهْ فَلَهُوَ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ» فَانْصَرَفْنَا مَعَ الشَّيْخِ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُوهُ فَأتَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَأَعَنَّاهُ عَلَى غُسْلِهِ وَتَكْفِينِهِ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي وَالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ لَا  

[Machine] We were working in the market when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for a man to be stoned. Then, a man came to us and asked who guided him to the place where he was stoned. So, we held onto him until we brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and we said, "O Messenger of Allah, this man came to ask us about the wicked person who was stoned today." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not call him wicked, for by Allah, he is more fragrant to Allah than musk."  

كُنَّا نَعْمَلَ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَجُلٍ فَرُجِمَ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَنَا مَنْ نَدُلُّهُ عَلَى مَكَانِهِ الَّذِي رُجِمَ فِيهِ؟ فَتَعَلَّقْنَا بِهِ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا جَاءَ لِيَسْأَلَنَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ الْخَبِيثِ الَّذِي رَجَمْتَ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُولُوا خَبِيثٌ فَوَاللهِ لَهُوَ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنَ الْمِسْكِ»
