It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that Hazrat Ma'iz bin Malik came to the service of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and confessed to adultery regarding himself. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his blessed face away. He came several times and kept confessing, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered him to be stoned. The people stoned him, and then came and informed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up to deliver a sermon. After praising Allah, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whenever any group of ours goes out in the path of Allah for jihad, the one who stays behind among them, his voice becomes like that of a goat who gives a little milk to someone. By Allah, whoever among them I have power over, I will certainly punish him.
