6824. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: When Mā'iz bin Mālik came to the Prophet ﷺ (in order to confess), the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Probably you have only kissed (the lady), or winked, or looked at her?" He said, "No, O Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ said, using no euphemism, "Did you had sexual intercourse with her?" The narrator added: At that, (i.e., after his confession) the Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be stoned (to death).

6824 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الجُعْفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَعْلَى بْنَ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: لَمَّا أَتَى مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: «لَعَلَّكَ قَبَّلْتَ، أَوْ غَمَزْتَ، أَوْ نَظَرْتَ» قَالَ: لاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «أَنِكْتَهَا». لاَ يَكْنِي، قَالَ: فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ
