Māʿiz al-Aslamī came to the Messenger of Allah and confessed to adultery. The Prophet turned away from him, but Māʿiz approached him from another side and repeated his confession; the Prophet turned away again. When Māʿiz repeated it a fourth time, the Prophet ordered that he be taken to al-Ḥarrah and stoned. When he felt the stones, Māʿiz fled, running until he passed a man carrying a camel jawbone. The man struck him with it, and the people continued striking him until he died. When they told the Messenger of Allah that Māʿiz had fled after feeling the stones and facing death, he said, ‘Why did you not leave him?’ This report is ḥasan and is also narrated through other routes from Abū Hurayrah. A similar report is narrated from Jābir.
