سنن نسائی · Hadith 1962
It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that a man from Aslam came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and confessed to committing Zina, and he 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Are you crazy?” He said: “No.” He said: “Have you been married?” He said: “Yes.” So the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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 b. spoke well of him but he did not pray for him. (Sahih)
