حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ مَاعِزًا أَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ وَقَالَ لِهَزَّالٍ لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِکَ کَانَ خَيْرًا لَکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4377
Narrated Nuaym: Maiz came to the Prophet ﷺ and admitted (having committed adultery) four times in his presence so he ordered him to be stoned to death, but said to Huzzal: If you had covered him with your garment, it would have been better for you.
