حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ هَزَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كَانَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ يَتِيمًا فِي حِجْرِ أَبِي فَأَصَابَ جَارِيَةً مِنَ الْحَىِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبِرْهُ بِمَا صَنَعْتَ لَعَلَّهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ وَإِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَقِمْ عَلَىَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَعَادَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ فَأَقِمْ عَلَىَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى قَالَهَا أَرْبَعَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ ﷺ إِنَّكَ قَدْ قُلْتَهَا أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَبِمَنْ قَالَ بِفُلاَنَةَ قَالَ هَلْ ضَاجَعْتَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ بَاشَرْتَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ جَامَعْتَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ فَأُخْرِجَ بِهِ إِلَى الْحَرَّةِ فَلَمَّا رُجِمَ فَوَجَدَ مَسَّ الْحِجَارَةِ جَزِعَ فَخَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ فَلَقِيَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ وَقَدْ عَجَزَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَنَزَعَ لَهُ بِوَظِيفِ بَعِيرٍ فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ هَلاَّ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ فَيَتُوبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ

Yazid ibn Nu'aym ibn Huzzal, on his father's authority said: Ma'iz ibn Malik was an orphan under the protection of my father. He had illegal sexual intercourse with a slave-girl belonging to a clan. My father said to him: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and inform him of what you have done, for he may perhaps ask Allah for your forgiveness. His purpose in that was simply a hope that it might be a way of escape for him. So he went to him and said: Messenger of Allah! I have committed fornication, so inflict on me the punishment ordained by Allah. He (the Prophet) turned away from him, so he came back and said: Messenger of Allah! I have committed fornication, so inflict on me the punishment ordained by Allah. He (again) turned away from him, so he came back and said: Messenger of Allah! I have committed fornication, so inflict on me the punishment ordained by Allah. When he uttered it four times, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You have said it four times. With whom did you commit it? He replied: With so and so. He asked: Did you lie down with her? He replied: Yes. He asked: Had your skin been in contact with hers? He replied. Yes. He asked: Did you have intercourse with her? He said: Yes. So he (the Prophet) gave orders that he should be stoned to death. He was then taken out to the Harrah, and while he was being stoned he felt the effect of the stones and could not bear it and fled. But Abdullah ibn Unays encountered him when those who had been stoning him could not catch up with him. He threw the bone of a camel's foreleg at him, which hit him and killed him. They then went to the Prophet ﷺ and reported it to him. He said: Why did you not leave him alone. Perhaps he might have repented and been forgiven by Allah.

في إسناده هشام بن سعد المخزومي المدني قال فيه يحيى مرة ليس بشيء ومرة ليس بذاك القوي ومرة ضعيف قال وكان يحيى القطان لا يكتب عنه وقال أحمد ليس هو بمحكم الحديث وقال النسائي ضعيف وقال أبو حاتم لا يحتج به وقال ابن عدي هو مع ضعفه يكتب حديثه وقال أبو عبد الله الحاكم لين قال وقد احتج به مسلم و قال عبد الحق هذا إسناد لا يحتج به
machine translationIn its chain is Hishām b. Saʿd al-Makhzūmī al-Madanī. Yaḥyā said of him once: "He is nothing"; another time: "He is not that strong"; and another time: "weak (ḍaʿīf)". It is said that Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān would not write down from him. Aḥmad said: "He is not firm in ḥadīth." Al-Nasāʾī said: "weak (ḍaʿīf)." Abū Ḥātim said: "He is not to be used as proof." Ibn ʿAdī said: "Despite his weakness, his ḥadīth is written down." Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥākim said: "lenient (layyin)", and said: "Muslim used him as proof." ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq said: "This is a chain that is not to be used as proof."
