Abu Haitham bin Nasr bin Dahr Aslami narrated from his father Sayyiduna Nasr (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I was among those who stoned him (Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, said) meaning at the time of the stoning of Ma'iz bin Malik Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), and when the stones struck him, he became very distressed due to the pain. We mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not leave him?"
