وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِمَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: «أَحَقٌّ مَا بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ؟» قَالَ: وَمَا بَلَغَكَ عَنِّي؟ قَالَ: «بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ قَدْ وَقَعْتَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ آلِ فُلَانٍ» قَالَ: نَعَمْ فَشَهِدَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ فَأمر بهِ فرجم. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Ibn ‘Abbas told that the Prophet asked Ma'iz b. Malik, “Is what I have heard about you true?” He asked what he had heard about him, and he replied that he had heard he had had intercourse with a girl belonging to the family of so and so. When he admitted it, and had acknowledged it four times, he ordered him to be stoned to death. Muslim transmitted it. (Here a tradition by Muslim has been placed in Section II.)

Reported by Muslim (No. 1693), Abu Dawud (No. 4425), At-Tirmidhi (No. 1427) and Ahmad (No. 2871). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 3566).
