Maez bin Malik al-Aslami came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have wronged myself and committed adultery, and I want you to purify me."The Prophet turned him away. The next day he came back and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery."The Prophet turned him away a second time. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent word to his people and asked, "Do you know of anything wrong with his mind? Do you find anything strange about him?"They replied, "We know him only as one of sound mind, one of the best among us, as far as we can tell."He came a third time, and again the Prophet sent to them and asked about him, and they informed him that there was nothing wrong with him or with his mind. When he came the fourth time, a pit was dug for him, the Prophet gave the order, and he was stoned.Then the woman of Ghamid came and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery, so purify me."He turned her away. The next day she said, "Messenger of Allah, why do you turn me away? Perhaps you turn me away as you turned away Maaz. By Allah, I am pregnant."He said, "If you insist, then go until you give birth."When she gave birth, she came to him with the child wrapped in a cloth and said, "Here, I have delivered him."He said, "Go and nurse him until you wean him."When she had weaned him, she brought the child to him with a piece of bread in his hand and said, "Prophet of Allah, I have weaned him, and he is eating solid food."He handed the child over to one of the Muslims, then gave the order concerning her. A pit was dug for her up to her chest, and he commanded the people to stone her. Khalid bin Walid came forward with a stone and struck her head, and the blood splattered onto Khalid's face, so he cursed her. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ heard him cursing her and said, "Easy, Khalid. By the One in whose hand is my soul, she has repented such a repentance that if a corrupt tax collector had repented like it, he would have been forgiven."Then he gave the order, prayed over her, and she was buried.

أن ماعز بن مالك الأسلمي أتى رسول الله ﷺ فقال يا رسول الله إني قد ظلمت نفسي وزنيت وإني أريد أن تطهرني فرده فلما كان من الغد أتاه فقال يا رسول الله إني قد زنيت فرده الثانية فأرسل رسول الله ﷺ إلى قومه فقال أتعلمون بعقله بأسا تنكرون منه شيئا فقالوا ما نعلمه إلا وفي العقل من صالحينا فيما نرى فأتاه الثالثة فأرسل إليهم أيضا فسأل عنه فأخبروه أنه لا بأس به ولا بعقله فلما كان الرابعة حفر له حفرة ثم أمر به فرجم قال فجاءت الغامدية فقالت يا رسول الله إني قد زنيت فطهرني وإنه ردها فلما كان الغد قالت يا رسول الله لم تردني لعلك أن تردني كما رددت ماعزا فوالله إني لحبلى قال إما لا فاذهبي حتى تلدي فلما ولدت أتته بالصبي في خرقة قالت هذا قد ولدته قال اذهبي فأرضعيه حتى تفطميه فلما فطمته أتته بالصبي في يده كسرة خبز فقالت هذا يا نبي الله قد فطمته وقد أكل الطعام فدفع الصبي إلى رجل من المسلمين ثم أمر بها فحفر لها إلى صدرها وأمر الناس فرجموها فيقبل خالد بن الوليد بحجر فرمى رأسها فتنضح الدم على وجه خالد فسبها فسمع نبي الله ﷺ سبه إياها فقال مهلا يا خالد فوالذي نفسي بيده لقد تابت توبة لو تابها صاحب مكس لغفر له ثم أمر بها فصلى عليها ودفنت
