حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ ‏.‏ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ ‏.‏ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ زَنَيْتُ ‏.‏ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَقَرَّ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ أَدْبَرَ يَشْتَدُّ فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلٌ بِيَدِهِ لَحْىُ جَمَلٍ فَضَرَبَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَذُكِرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِرَارُهُ حِينَ مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَهَلاَّ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; 'Abbad ibn al-'Awwam narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: Ma'iz ibn Malik came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have committed zina. He turned away from him. He said again: I have committed zina, and he turned away from him. Then he said: I have committed zina, and he turned away. Then he said: I have committed zina, and he turned away from him, until he had confessed four times. Then he ordered that he be stoned. When the stones struck him, he turned and fled at a run. A man carrying a camel's jawbone met him, struck him with it, and knocked him down. The Prophet was told of his flight when the stones touched him, and he said: Why did you not leave him?
