أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَهُ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُطَهِّرَنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ «ارْجِعْ» فَرَجَعَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ «ارْجِعْ» فَرَجَعَ فَأَتَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْمَهُ فَسَأَلَهُمْ فَأَحْسَنُوا عَلَيْهِ الثَّنَاءَ قَالَ «كَيْفَ عَقْلُهُ؟ هَلْ بِهِ جُنُونٌ؟» فَقَالُوا لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَصَحِيحٌ فَأَحْسَنُوا عَلَيْهِ الثَّنَاءَ فِي عَقْلِهِ وَدِينِهِ فَأَتَاهُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ «فَحَفَرُوا لَهُ حُفْرَةً إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَمُوهُ»

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when Ma'iz b. Malik came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery, and I want you to purify me. He said to him: "Go back." So he went back. Then he came to him a second time, and he said: "Go back." So he went back. Then he came to him a third time, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to his people and asked them about him, and they praised him well. He said: "How is his mind? Is he insane?" They said: No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, he is sound, and they praised his mind and his religion well. Then he came to him a fourth time, and he asked them about him, and they said the same. So he ordered them: "Dig a hole for him up to his chest, then stone him."
