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
Yazid ibn Nuaim, on his father’s authority, told that Maiz came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 Maiz to go to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and tell him.
