٣٠٥٨١ - حدثنا (أبو) (١) بكر قال: حدثنا مروان بن معاوية عن عاصم عن أبي عثمان قال: أتي عمر برجل في حد، فأتي بسوط فقال: أريد ألين من هذا، فأتي بسوط فيه لين فقال: أريد أشد من هذا، فأتي بسوط بين السوطين فقال: اضرب ولا يرى إبطك، وأعط كل عضو حقه (٢).
Hazrat Abu Uthman narrates that a man was brought to Hazrat Umar regarding a punishment, and a whip was also brought. He said: I want one softer than this, so a whip was brought which was softer. He said: I want one harder than this, so a whip was brought which was between the two. He said: Then strike, but do not expose your armpit, and give each limb its due.
