حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى الْحَجَّاجِ ، فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ : " ارْتَدَدْتَ عَلَى عَقِبَيْكَ تَعَرَّبْتَ ، قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَذِنَ لِي فِي الْبَدْوِ " .
It has been narrated by Salama bin al-Akwa' that he visited al-Hajjaj who said to him: O son of al-Akwa', you have turned apostate and have come to live again in the desert with the Bedouins (after your migration). He said: No, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has permitted me to live in the desert.
