Nuaim bin Hazzal says that Ma'iz bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) was raised under the care of my father. He became involved with a slave woman from the neighborhood. My father said to him, "Go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and inform him of this incident." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Hazzal! By Allah! If you had concealed him within your clothes, it would have been better than what you have done with him."
