وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ مِنْ شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مِنْ شِقِّهِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ زَنَيْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ وَقَالَ فَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ فَلَمَّا مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ أَدْبَرَ وَاشْتَدَّ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فِي يَدِهِ لَحْيُ جَمَلٍ فَضَرَبَهُ بِهِ فَذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِرَارُهُ حِينَ مَسَّتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ قَالَ فَهَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ

With the same chain of narration, he said: Ma'iz ibn Malik al-Aslami came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery." the Prophet ﷺ turned away from him. Then he came from his right side and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery." He turned away from him. Then he came from his left side and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed adultery." He said this four times. the Prophet ﷺ then said: "Take him away and stone him." So they took him, and when the stones struck him, he turned and ran. A man met him with the jawbone of a camel and struck him with it. When his fleeing upon being struck by the stones was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "Why did you not leave him alone?"
