Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man, Ma'iz bin Malik Aslami, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while the Prophet (peace be upon him) was in the mosque. He called out to him and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery. The Prophet (peace be upon him) turned his face away from him. He repeated this statement four times. When he had testified against himself four times regarding this sin, the Prophet (peace be upon him) called him and asked: Are you insane? He replied: No. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Are you married? He replied: Yes. Upon this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Take him away and stone him. Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was among those who stoned him. We stoned him outside the settlement near the Eid ground. When stones struck him, he ran away, but we caught him near Harrah and stoned him to death.
