حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا بُشَيْرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ کُنَّا أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّ الْغَامِدِيَّةَ وَمَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ لَوْ رَجَعَا بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِهِمَا أَوْ قَالَ لَوْ لَمْ يَرْجِعَا بَعْدَ اعْتِرَافِهِمَا لَمْ يَطْلُبْهُمَا وَإِنَّمَا رَجَمَهُمَا عِنْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4434
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: We, the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, used to talk mutually: Would that al-Ghamidiyyah and Maiz ibn Malik had withdrawn after their confession; or he said: Had they not withdrawn after their confession, he would not have pursued them (for punishment). He had them stoned after the fourth (confession).
