The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Go with Ma'iz ibn Malik and stone him." So we went with him to Baqee' al-Gharqad. By Allah, we did not tie him up or dig a hole for him. Rather, he stood and we stoned him with bones, pottery, and gravel. – Sound Chain
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «انْطَلِقُوا بِمَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَارْجُمُوهُ» فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَوْثَقْنَاهُ وَلَا حَفَرْنَا لَهُ وَلَكِنْ قَامَ فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِالْعِظَامِ وَالْخَزَفِ وَالْجَنْدَلِ – إسناده صحيح

I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a man named Ma'iz ibn Malik came to him and confessed to committing adultery. The Prophet ﷺ asked him three times if he was sure, and each time the man confirmed his confession. Then, he came for the fourth time and confessed again. The Prophet ﷺ ordered a pit to be dug for him and he was placed in it up to his chest. The Prophet ﷺ then commanded the people to stone him. – Good Chain
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَاعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَرَدَّهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَاعْتَرَفَ «فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحُفِرَ لَهُ حُفْرَةٌ فَجُعِلَ فِيهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَرْجُمُوهُ» – إسناده حسن
