أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ أَرْبَعَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِرَجْمِهِ فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ خَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ وَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ مِنْ نَادِي قَوْمِهِ بِوَظِيفِ حِمَارٍ فَضَرَبَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَحَدَّثَهُ بِأَمْرِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ فَيَتُوبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا هَزَّالُ لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ»

✧ Māʿiz b. Mālik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Carry out the Book of God upon me. He turned away from him four times, then the Prophet ﷺ ordered his stoning. When the stones touched him, he ran out fleeing. ʿAbd Allāh b. Unays came out from the gathering of his people with the shinbone of a donkey and struck him, and he knocked him down. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him of his affair. He said: "Would you not have left him? Perhaps he would have repented, and God would have accepted his repentance." Then he said: "O Hazzāl, if you had covered him with your garment, it would have been better for you."
