English translation

4431. It was narrated from Dāwūd, from Abū Naḍrah, that Abū Sa'eed said: "When the Prophet ﷺ ordered the stoning of Mā'iz bin Mālik, we took him out to Al-Baqī. By Allāh, we did not tie him or dig a pit for him, rather he stood for us." Abū Kāmil (one of the narrators) said: "He said: 'We threw bones, clods, and pieces of pottery at him, and he ran away and we ran after him until he came to the side of Al-Ḥarrah, and stood for us.'" Then they threw large stones from Al-Ḥarrah at him until he fell silent (died). And he ﷺ did not pray for forgiveness for him, nor did he speak ill of him.

4431 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا، وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجْمِ مَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، خَرَجْنَا بِهِ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَوَاللَّهِ، مَا أَوْثَقْنَاهُ، وَلَا حَفَرْنَا لَهُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَامَ لَنَا» - قَالَ أَبُو كَامِلٍ: - قَالَ: «فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِالْعِظَامِ وَالْمَدَرِ، وَالْخَزَفِ فَاشْتَدَّ، وَاشْتَدَدْنَا خَلْفَهُ، حَتَّى أَتَى عَرْضَ الْحَرَّةِ، فَانْتَصَبَ لَنَا فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِجَلَامِيدِ الْحَرَّةِ حَتَّى سَكَتَ»، قَالَ: «فَمَا اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ، وَلَا سَبَّهُ»

Commentary

Al-Ḥāfiz Ibn Hajar preferred the versions that say that his funeral prayer was eventually performed.
