Chapter on the Mention of Ma'iz ibn Malik

It was narrated to us by Abu al-Husayn ibn Bishran, who narrated to us from Abu Ja'far al-Razzaz, who narrated to us from Ahmad ibn Ishaq ibn Salih, who narrated to us from Abu Salama al-Tabudhki, who narrated to us from Al-Fayd ibn Al-Qasim, who said: I heard Al-Jad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman saying that 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ma'iz narrated to him that Ma'iz came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he wrote him a letter that Ma'iz had embraced Islam after the rest of his people, and that no sin would be counted against him except his own hand. The Prophet then pledged allegiance to him on that.

(1) This Ma'iz is different from Ma'iz ibn Malik al-Aslami, as specified by Bukhari and Al-Baghawi. Ibn Mundah permitted that it could refer to the same person, and the narration was mentioned by Ibn Hajar in his biography (3:337) from Al-Isabah, citing Bukhari in "Al-Tarikh al-Kabir" (4:2:37).
