Chapter 40 · Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud)فِي السَّتْرِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُدُودِ
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ مَاعِزًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهِ، وَقَالَ لِهَزَّالٍ: لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ بِثَوْبِكَ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَكَ .

Concealing those who have committed deeds for which had punishments are prescribed
Maiz رضی اللہ عنہ came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and admitted (having committed adultery) four times in his presence so he ordered him to be stoned to death, but said to Huzzal: If you had covered him with your garment, it would have been better for you.
