Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:1934 حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا زُهَيْرٌ ثنا سِمَاكٌ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا فَمَنْ نَبَّأَكَ أَنَّهُ يَخْطُبُ جَالِسًا أَوْ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ كَذَبَ فَقَدْ وَاللهِ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ مَرَّةً»
English Translation
Jabir ibn Samurah said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while the body of Ma'iz ibn Malik was being stoned. A man said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, do you not see how they are stoning him as they would stone a dog?" He remained silent. When three days had passed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioned him and said good of him. He said: "Why did you not let him go? Perhaps he would have repented and Allah would have accepted his repentance."
