Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) informed that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood up after the stoning of Mā‘iz ibn Mālik al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) as a punishment for adultery and addressed the people saying: Avoid this filth and what is detestable and repugnant of sins that Allah has prohibited. Whoever falls into and commits any of them must do two things: First: Conceal himself as Allah has concealed him and not disclose his sin. Second: Hasten to repent to Allah and not persist in it. As for one whose sin becomes apparent to us, we will enforce the prescribed punishment mentioned in the Book of Allah Almighty for that sin.
