English translation

[4424] 17 - (1692) It was narrated that Jâbir bin Samurah said: "I saw Mâ'iz bin Mâlik when he was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, a short, well built man who was not wearing a Ridâ' (upper garment). He testified against himself four times, saying that he had committed Zinâ, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Perhaps you (kissed her or embraced her)?' He said: 'No, by Allâh, this ignoble one has committed Zinâ.' So he stoned him, then he gave a speech in which he said: 'Every time we set out on a campaign for the sake of Allâh, one of them stayed behind and bleated like a male goat, and gave a small amount of milk or food (in return for sexual favors). By Allâh, if I get hold of one of them I will certainly make an example of him.'"

Arabic text

17 - (1692) وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ جِيءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ قَصِيرٌ، أَعْضَلُ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ، فَشَهِدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ أَنَّهُ زَنَى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَلَعَلَّكَ؟» قَالَ: لَا، وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ قَدْ زَنَى الْأَخِرُ، قَالَ: فَرَجَمَهُ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَا كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا غَازِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، خَلَفَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ، يَمْنَحُ أَحَدُهُمُ الْكُثْبَةَ، أَمَا وَاللهِ، إِنْ يُمْكِنِّي مِنْ أَحَدِهِمْ لَأُنَكِّلَنَّهُ عَنْهُ»
