4422. It was narrated that Jābir bin Samurah said: “I saw Mā’iz bin Mālik when he was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, a short muscular man, who was not wearing an upper garment. He bore witness against himself four times, saying that he had committed Zinā. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Perhaps you kissed her?’ He said: ‘No, by Allāh, this bad man indeed committed Zinā.’ So he stoned him, then he delivered a speech and said: ‘Every time we went out (to fight) in the cause of Allāh, one of them stayed behind and bleated like a male goat, and gave a small amount of milk or food (in return for sexual favořs). By Allāh, if Allāh enabled me to get hold of one of them, I would deter him from them (women).’” (Sahih)

4422 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ جِيءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَجُلًا قَصِيرًا، أَعْضَلَ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ، فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ أَنَّهُ قَدْ زَنَى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَلَعَلَّكَ قَبَّلْتَهَا؟» قَالَ: لَا، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ قَدْ زَنَى الْآخِرُ، قَالَ : فَرَجَمَهُ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَا كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، خَلَفَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ يَمْنَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْكُثْبَةَ، أَمَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِنْ يُمَكِّنِّي مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا نَكَلْتُهُ عَنْهُنَّ»
