وَعَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ مَاعِزًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ وَقَالَ لِهَزَّالٍ: «لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ» قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ: إِنَّ هَزَّالًا أَمَرَ مَاعِزًا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فيخبره. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
English Translation
Yazid b. Nu'aim, on his father’s authority, told that Ma‘iz came to the Prophet and confirmed the matter four times in his presence, so he ordered him to be stoned to death, but said to Hazzal, “If you had covered him with your garment it would have been better for you.” Ibn al-Munkadir said Hazzal had ordered Ma'iz to go to the Prophet and tell him. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
