1958. It was narrated from Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh that a man from Aslam came to the Prophet ﷺ and confessed to committing Zina, and he ﷺ turned away from him. He admitted it again, and he turned away from him. He admitted it again, and he turned away from him. Then when he had testified against himself four times, the Prophet ﷺ said: "Are you crazy?" He said: "No." He said: "Have you been married?" He said: "Yes." So the Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be stoned. When the stones struck him, he ran away, but they caught up with him and stoned him and he died. Then the Prophet ﷺ spoke well of him but he did not pray for him. (Sahih)

Commentary
1. He was Mâiz Aslami. ﷺ.
2. "He turned away from him": in it there is an implicit hint that if someone commits sin and there do not exist any witnesses, one should seek Allâh's forgiveness instead of confessing the sin. Thereupon one should sincerely repent. The repentance also effaces the sin. The prescribed legal penalty
(Hadd) is for the one who so brazenly commits the sin or the crime, that he is witnessed by as many as four people, in the very brazen act of adultery.
