( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ بِالطَّابَرَانِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ الْإِمَامُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ:
رَأَيْتُ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ جِيءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ قَصِيرٌ، أَعْضَلُ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ، فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ أَنَّهُ قَدْ زَنَى. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " فَلَعَلَّكَ ". قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ، قَدْ زَنَى الْأَخِرُ، فَرُجِمَ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ: أَلَا كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَلَفَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي لَا أُوتَى بِأَحَدِهِمْ إِلَّا جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالًا

I saw Māʿiz b. Mālik when he was brought to the Prophet ﷺ: a short, stocky man, wearing no cloak. He testified against himself four times that he had committed adultery. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Perhaps you...?" He said: "No, by Allah, the wretch has committed adultery." So he was stoned. Then he delivered a sermon and said: "Beware! Whenever we go out in the cause of Allah, one of them stays behind, bleating like the bleating of a he-goat. Beware! If any of them is brought to me, I will make him an exemplary punishment."
