Hazrat Naeem narrates that Hazrat Ma'iz bin Malik came to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Indeed, I have committed adultery, so implement the judgment of Allah's Book upon me. He turned away from him. He said again: Indeed I have committed adultery, so establish upon me the command of Allah's Book. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again turned away from him, until he mentioned it four times. He said: Take him and stone him. When the pain of the stones became very severe for him, he ran. Just then, Hazrat Abdullah bin Unais or Ibn Anas came out from his jungle and struck him with a camel's shinbone, causing him to fall. So the people stoned him until he was killed. Then it was mentioned before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about his running. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not leave him so that he might repent, and Allah would accept his repentance? O Hazzal, or he said: O Hazzan! If you had covered him with your garment, it would have been better for you than this deed that you have done.

Then his opponent, who was more discerning than the first, also said: Judge between us according to the Book of Allah, and grant me permission to speak. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Speak. He said: Indeed, my son was his servant, and he committed adultery with his wife. So I ransomed my son by giving him one hundred sheep and a servant. Then I asked the scholars about this matter, and they informed me that my son is to be punished with one hundred lashes and exile for one year, and the woman is to be stoned. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, your son will surely be punished with one hundred lashes and exile for one year, and O Anis! Go to this woman, and if she confesses, then stone her.
