Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ma'iz bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was short in stature, wearing an izar and without a cloak. At that time, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was reclining on a pillow placed to his left. He (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to him. I was far away and there were people sitting between us, so I do not know what was said. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take him away and stone him." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring him back." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to him, which I saw, but there were people sitting between us. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take him away and stone him." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, and I was listening as he delivered a sermon and said: "When we go out in the way of Allah for jihad, someone stays behind and bleats like a goat (i.e., makes a sound like a goat at the time of mating) and lets a little milk drip for them (by milk is meant semen, i.e., he commits adultery). By Allah, if I gain power over such a man, I will certainly punish him."
