Hadith 4405

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ : فَكَشَفُوا عَانَتِي فَوَجَدُوهَا لَمْ تَنْبُتْ ، فَجَعَلُونِي فِي السَّبْيِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abd al- Malik bin Umar through a different chain of narrators. This version has: They uncovered my private parts, and when they found that the hair had not begun to grow they put me among the captives.
