English translation
1428. Abū Hurairah narrated: "Mā'iz Al-Aslamī came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said that he had committed adultery, so he ﷺ turned away from him. Then he approached from his other side and said: '[O Messenger of Allāh!] I have committed adultery.' So he turned away from him. Then he came from his other side and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I have committed adultery.' So he gave the order (for stoning) upon the fourth time. He was taken to Al-Harah and stoned with rocks. Upon being hit by the rocks, he ran swiftly until he passed a man with a camel whip who beat him with it, and the people beat him until he died. They mentioned to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, that he ran upon feeling the rocks at the time of death. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Why didn't you leave him?'" (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. It has been reported through more than one route from Abū Hurairah. This Hadīth has been reported from Az-Zuhri, from Abū Salamah, from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh from the Prophet ﷺ and it is similar.
