Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29678 — A slain person found between two
٢٩٦٧٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع قال: حدثنا إسرائيل عن أبي إسحاق عن الحارث بن (الأزمع) (١) قال: وجد قتيل باليمن بين وادعة (وأرحب) (٢) فكتب عامل عمر إليه، فكتب إليه عمر أن قس ما بين الحيين، فإلى أيهما كان أقرب فخذهم به (٣).
Abu Ishaq said that al-Harith bin al-Azma' said: A slain man was found in Yemen between Wadi'ah and Arhab, so the governor of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to him about it. Sayyiduna Umar wrote back to the governor: "Measure the distance between the two neighbourhoods, and whichever of the two the slain man is nearer to, hold them to account for him."
