أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ بْنِ نَصْرٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجْمَ مَاعِزًا فَلَمَّا غَشِيَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ قَالَ
رُدُّونِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ فَأَتَيْتُ عَاصِمَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي ذَلِكَ فَأَنْكَرْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَ النَّاسُ شَيْئًا مِنْ قَوْلِ مَاعِزٍ رُدُّونِي فَأَنْكَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَنَا كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ رَجَمَهُ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا وَجَدَ مَسَّ الْحِجَارَةِ قَالَ رُدُّونِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ قَوْمِي غَرُّونِي قَالُوا إِئْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ غَيْرُ قَاتِلِكَ فَمَا أَقْلَعْنَا عَنْهُ حَتَّى قَتَلْنَاهُ فَلَمَّا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ «أَلَا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ؟ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ فِي شَأْنِهِ»

✧ “Return me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” We denied that, so I went to ‘Asim b. ‘Umar b. Qatadah and mentioned that to him. Al-Hasan b. Muhammad said to me, “I have heard that, and I denied it.” I went to Jabir b. ‘Abdullah and said to him, “People have mentioned something about the words of Ma‘iz, ‘Return me,’ and I denied it.” He said, “I was among those who stoned him. When he felt the touch of the stones, he said, ‘Return me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for my people deceived me. They said, “Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for he will not kill you.”’ We did not stop until we killed him. When we mentioned that to him, he said, ‘Why did you not leave him so that I could look into his affair?’”
