Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them), he says: I was among those people who stoned Ma'iz. When we stoned him and he felt the pain of the stones, he said: O people! Take me back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), for my people have killed me, they have deceived me. The people said: Surely, the Messenger of Allah is not one to kill you. So we did not refrain from it until we finished stoning him. Then when we returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and narrated his words to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not leave him and bring him to me? In fact, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to further investigate his matter.

Narrated from Nasr bin Dahraslami, he says: A man from our tribe, Ma'iz bin Khalid bin Malik, went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and confessed to adultery. The Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to stone him. So we took him to Harrah Bani Niyar and stoned him. When he felt the pain of the stones, he became extremely restless. Then, when we finished stoning him and returned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned his restlessness to him, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not let him go?

Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Quraishi says: The person who was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was between Makkah and Madinah when he ordered a man to be stoned. When stones struck him, he ran away. In another narration: When he felt the pain of the stones, he got up and ran away. When this matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Why did you not let him go?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the tribe of Banu Aslam came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and confessed that he had committed adultery with a woman, and he also mentioned the name of that woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for that woman and asked her about this wrongdoing; she denied it. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) imposed the prescribed punishment (hadd) on that man and let the woman go.
