Hadith of Hazzal (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ هَزَّالٍ (١)، ٢١٨٩٠ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمِ بنِ هَزَّالٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فِي حِجْرِ أَبِي، فَأَصَابَ جَارِيَةً مِنَ الْحَيِّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي: ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ بِمَا صَنَعْتَ، لَعَلَّهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ. وَإِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ مَخْرَجٌ، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، فَأَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ، ، اللهِ. فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَعَادَ، (١) فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، فَأَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ. فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ (٢) ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، فَأَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ. ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الرَّابِعَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي زَنَيْتُ، فَأَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " " إِنَّكَ قَدْ قُلْتَهَا أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَبِمَنْ؟ " (٣) " قَالَ: بِفُلَانَةَ. قَالَ: " " هَلْ ضَاجَعْتَهَا؟ " " قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: " " هَلْ بَاشَرْتَهَا؟ " " قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: " " هَلْ جَامَعْتَهَا؟ " " قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُرْجَمَ، قَالَ: فَأُخْرِجَ بِهِ إِلَى الْحَرَّةِ، فَلَمَّا رُجِمَ، فَوَجَدَ مَسَّ الْحِجَارَةِ، جَزَعَ، فَخَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ، فَلَقِيَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ، وَقَدْ أَعْجَزَ أَصْحَابَهُ، فَنَزَعَ لَهُ بِوَظِيفِ بَعِيرٍ، فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ، فَقَتَلَهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: " " هَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ، فَيَتُوبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ " " قَالَ هِشَامٌ: فَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ هَزَّالٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأَبِي حِينَ رَآهُ: " " وَاللهِ يَا هَزَّالُ، لَوْ كُنْتَ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ، كَانَ خَيْرًا مِمَّا صَنَعْتَ بِهِ " (٤)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Nuaim bin Hazzal says that Ma'iz bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) was raised under the care of my father. He became involved with a slave woman from the neighborhood. My father said to him, "Go to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and inform him of this incident so that the Prophet (ﷺ) may pray for your forgiveness." His intention was that perhaps a way out would be found for him. So he presented himself before the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have committed adultery, so carry out the punishment on me according to the Book of Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned away from him. This happened four times. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have confessed four times. Tell me, with whom did you commit this sin?" Ma'iz said, "With such-and-such woman." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Did you lie with her?" Ma'iz said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Did you touch your body with hers?" Ma'iz said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Did you have intercourse with her?" Ma'iz said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that he be stoned. So the people took him towards Harrah. When Ma'iz was being stoned and was struck by stones, he felt the pain and ran away quickly. The people were unable to catch him, then suddenly Abdullah bin Unais met him and struck him with a camel bone, causing his death. Then they presented themselves before the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned this incident. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why did you not leave him? Perhaps he would have repented and Allah would have accepted his repentance." And the Prophet (ﷺ) said to my father, "Hazzal! By Allah! If you had concealed him in your clothes, it would have been better than what you did with him."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ (١) الْعَطَّارَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ هَزَّالٍ: أَنَّ هَزَّالًا كَانَ اسْتَأْجَرَ (٢) مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا: فَاطِمَةُ، قَدْ أُمْلِكَتْ، وَكَانَتْ تَرْعَى، ، غَنَمًا لَهُمْ، وَإِنَّ مَاعِزًا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، فَأَخْبَرَ هَزَّالًا (١) فَخَدَعَهُ، فَقَالَ: انْطَلِقْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ، عَسَى أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيكَ قُرْآنٌ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرُجِمَ، فَلَمَّا عَضَّتْهُ مَسُّ الْحِجَارَةِ، انْطَلَقَ يَسْعَى، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ بِلَحْيِ جَزُورٍ، أَوْ سَاقِ بَعِيرٍ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِهِ، فَصَرَعَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَيْلَكَ يَا هَزَّالُ، لَوْ كُنْتَ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ، كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ " (٢)،

Nuaim bin Hazzal says that Ma'iz bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) used to work for my father. My father had a slave woman whose name was Fatimah; she used to graze his goats. Ma'iz became involved with her. My father said to him, "Go to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and inform him of this incident; perhaps a command regarding you will be revealed in the Qur'an." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that he be stoned. So the people took him towards "Harrah." When Ma'iz was about to be stoned and stones struck him, he felt the pain and ran away quickly. The people were unable to catch him, then suddenly Abdullah bin Unais met him; he struck him with a camel bone, which caused his death. Then he went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and mentioned this incident. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Why did you not leave him? Perhaps he would have repented and Allah would have accepted his repentance." And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to my father, "Hazzal! By Allah! If you had hidden him in your clothes, it would have been better than what you did to him."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ. فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ، فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ، ، الْحِجَارَةُ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: فَلَمَّا عَضَّتْهُ (١) جَزَعَ، (٢) فَخَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ، وَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ، أَوْ أَنَسُ مِنِ نَادِيهِ (٣) ، فَرَمَاهُ بِوَظِيفِ حِمَارٍ، فَصَرَعَهُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَحَدَّثَهُ بِأَمْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: " " هَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ، لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ فَيَتُوبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ " " ثُمَّ قَالَ: " " يَا هَزَّالُ، لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ، كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ " " (٤)،
