"Ma'iz Al-Aslamu came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said that he had committed adultery, so he ﷺ turned away from him. Then he approached from his other side and said: '[O Messenger of Allah!] I have committed adultery.' So he turned away from him. The he came from his other side and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery.' So he gave the order (for stoning) upon the fourth time. He was taken to Al-Harrah and stoned with rocks, he ran swiftly until he passed a man with a camel whip who beat him with it, and the people beat him until he died. They mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that he ran upon feeling the rocks at the time of death. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Why didn't you leave him?'"

“Maʿiz bin Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I have committed fornication,' and he (the Prophet ﷺ) turned away from him. He said: 'I have committed fornication,' and he turned away from him. Then, he said: I have committed fornication, and he turned away from him, until when he had confessed four times, he ordered that he should be stoned. When he was being struck with the stones, he ran away, but a man caught up with him who had a camel's jawbone in his hand; he struck him and he fell down. The Prophet ﷺ was told about how he fled when the stones hit him and he said: 'Why did you not let him be?'”
