It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Ma'iz bin Malik, who was a short-statured man, was brought before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing only a waistcloth, with no other sheet on his body. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting reclining on his left side on a cushion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to him about some matters, but I do not know what those matters were because there was a crowd between me and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). After a short while, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take him away." After some time, he said, "Bring him back." This time, I heard what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take him away and stone him." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon, which I also heard. Whenever any of our group goes out for jihad in the way of Allah, whoever stays behind among them, his voice is like that of a goat, and whoever gives someone even a little milk—by Allah, whoever is able to punish him, I will surely punish him.
