Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: Muhammad ibn Ishaq said: I mentioned the story of Ma'iz ibn Malik to Asim ibn Umar ibn Qatadah. He said to me: Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn AbuTalib 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 Ma'iz 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

حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر بن ميسرة، حدثنا يزيد بن زريع، عن محمد بن اسحاق، قال ذكرت لعاصم بن عمر بن قتادة قصة ماعز بن مالك فقال لي حدثني حسن بن محمد بن علي بن ابي طالب، قال حدثني ذلك، من قول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " فهلا تركتموه " . من شيتم من رجال اسلم ممن لا اتهم . قال ولم اعرف هذا الحديث قال فجيت جابر بن عبد الله فقلت ان رجالا من اسلم يحدثون ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لهم حين ذكروا له جزع ماعز من الحجارة حين اصابته " الا تركتموه " . وما اعرف الحديث قال يا ابن اخي انا اعلم الناس بهذا الحديث كنت فيمن رجم الرجل انا لما خرجنا به فرجمناه فوجد مس الحجارة صرخ بنا يا قوم ردوني الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فان قومي قتلوني وغروني من نفسي واخبروني ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم غير قاتلي فلم ننزع عنه حتى قتلناه فلما رجعنا الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واخبرناه قال " فهلا تركتموه وجيتموني به " . ليستثبت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منه فاما لترك حد فلا قال فعرفت وجه الحديث
