Hadith 38776
٣٨٧٧٦ - حدثنا مالك قال: حدثني سهل بن شعيب قال: حدثني فراس بن يحيى قال: أصبت (في) (١) سجن الحجاج ورقًا منقوطا بالنحو، وكان أول نقط رأيته، فأتيت به الشعبي فأريته إياه فقال: اقرأ عليه ولا تنقطه بيدك.
Hazrat Firas bin Yahya says that I saw a page in Hajjaj's prison on which dots had been placed. Those were the first dots I had ever seen. I took that page to Hazrat Sha'bi and showed it to him, and he said, "Continue in your own way and do not place dots with your own hand."
