Sahih Muslim Book - 29, Hadith - 4425

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ أُتِىَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِرَجُلٍ قَصِيرٍ أَشْعَثَ ذِى عَضَلاَتٍ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ وَقَدْ زَنَى فَرَدَّهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا غَازِينَ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَخَلَّفَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَنِبُّ نَبِيبَ التَّيْسِ يَمْنَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْكُثْبَةَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُمْكِنِّى مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالاً ». أَوْ نَكَّلْتُهُ. قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ رَدَّهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ.

Jabir bin Samurah said: "A short man, muscular, with unkempt hair who was wearing an Izar (lower garment) and who had committed Zina was brought to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He turned him away twice, then he ordered that he be stoned. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Every time we went out on a campaign for the sake of Allah, one of you stayed behind and bleated like a male goat, and gave a small amount of milk or food (in return for sexual favors). If Allah enables me to get hold of one of them, I will make an example of him.'" He (the narrator) said: I narrated it to Sa'eed bin Jubair and he said: He turned him away four times.
