Narrated Jabir Ibn Abdullah: Muhammad Ibn Ishaq said: I mentioned the story of Maiz Ibn Malik to Aasi m Ibn Umar Ibn Qatadah. He said to me:Hassan Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Abu Talib said to me: Some men of the tribe of Aslam whom I do not blame and whom you like have transmitted to me the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : Why did you not leave him alone? He said: But I did not understand this tradition. So I went to Jabir Ibn Abdullah and said to him : Some men of the tribe of Aslam narrate that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said when they mentioned to him the anxiety of Maiz when the stones hurt him: Why did you not leave him alone? But I do not know this tradition. He said: My cousin; I know this tradition more than the people. I was one of those who had stoned the man. When we came out with him; stoned him and he felt the effect of the stones; he cried: O people! return me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. My people killed me and deceived me; they told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not kill me. We did not keep away from him till we killed him. When we returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we informed him of it. He said: Why did you not leave him alone and bring him to me? and he said this so that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ might ascertain it from him. But he did not say this to abandon the prescribed punishment. He said: I then understood the intent of the tradition.
