Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Bajalah bin Abda al-Anbari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I was the scribe of Hazrat Juz’ bin Mu’awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him), and he (may Allah have mercy on him) was appointed as the governor over the people of Ahwaz. During this time, Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah have mercy on him), who was the governor of Basra, wrote a letter to us stating that Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had written to him, commanding that those Magians who make sounds with their mouths closed while eating should be killed until they speak. And every woman should be taken away from her mahram, and every sorcerer should be killed. So Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) sent this letter to Hazrat Juz’ bin Mu’awiyah as well. So he (may Allah have mercy on him) called Zamazamah, and they discussed this matter. And the narrator says, when any woman would reach adulthood, we would take her away from her mahram and marry her to someone else. And if the woman was old, we would detain her and scold her.
