It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Noble Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, met Ma'iz bin Malik and asked him: O Ma'iz! Is what has reached me true? He said: What thing have you come to know about me? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It has reached me that you committed adultery with the slave girl of so-and-so. He said: Yes, it happened like that. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent him back, until he testified four times. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered and he was stoned.
