Sulaiman Bin Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Ma; iz Bin Malik came to Allah Apostle ﷺ and said to him: Messenger of Allah; purify me; whereupon he said: Woe be upon you; go back; ask forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance. He the narrator said that he went back not far; then came and said: Allah Messenger; purify me. whereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: Woe be upon you; go back and ask forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance. He the narrator said that he went back not far; when he came and said: Allah Messenger; purify me. Allah Apostle ﷺ said as he had said before. When it was the fourth time; Allah Messenger may; ﷺ said: From what am I to purify you? He said: From adultery; Allah Messenger ﷺ asked if he had been mad. He was informed that he was not mad. He said: Has he drunk wine? A person stood up and smelt his breath but noticed no smell of wine. Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: Have you committed adultery? He said: Yes. He made pronouncement about him and he was stoned to death. The people had been divided into two groups about him Maiz. One of them said: He has been undone for his sins had encompassed him; whereas another said: There is no repentance more excellent than the repentance of Maiz; for he came to Allah Apostle ﷺ and placing his hand in his in the Holy Prophets hand said: Kill me with stones. This controversy about Maiz remained for two or three days. Then came Allah Messenger ﷺ to them his Companions as they were sitting. He greeted them with salutation and then sat down and said: Ask forgiveness for Maiz Bin Malik. They said: May Allah forgive Maiz Bin Malik. Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: He Maiz has made such a repentance that if that were to be divided among a people; it would have been enough for all of them. He the narrator said: Then a woman of Ghamid; a branch of Azd; came to him and said: Messenger of of Allah; purify me; whereupon he said: Woe be upon you; go back and beg forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance. She said: I find that you intend to send me back as you sent back Maiz. Bin Malik. He the Holy; Prophet said: What has happened to you? She said that she had become pregnant as a result of fornication. He the Holy Prophet said: Is it you who has done that ? She said: Yes. He the Holy Prophet said to her: You will not be punished until you deliver what is there in your womb. One of the Ansar became responsible for her until she was delivered of the child. He that Ansari came to Allah Apostle ﷺ and said the woman of Ghamid has given birth to a child. He the Holy Prophet said: In that case we shall not stone her and so leave her infant with none to suckle him. One of the Ansar got up and said: Allah Apostle; let the responsibility of his suckling be upon me. She was then stoned to death.
