Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: We, the Companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, used to talk mutually: Would that al-Ghamidiyyah and Maiz ibn Malik had withdrawn after their confession; or he said: Had they not withdrawn after their confession, he would not have pursued them (for punishment). He had them stoned after the fourth (confession).
