Bayhaqi 11321 — Puberty by the growth of pubic hair

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَرْدَسْتَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ قَالَ: أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِابْنِ الصَّعْبَةِ قَدِ ابْتَهَرَ امْرَأَةً فِي شِعْرِهِ، قَالَ: " انْظُرُوا إِلَى مُؤْتَزَرِهِ "، فَنَظَرُوا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ أَنْبَتَ الشَّعْرَ، فَقَالَ: " لَوْ أَنْبَتَ الشَّعْرَ لَجَلَدْتُهُ الْحَدَّ ".
Muhammad bin Yahya bin Habban (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ibn al-Sa'bah was brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him); in his poems he had claimed to have committed fornication with a woman. He said: Look at him. They looked at him and found that his hair had not yet grown. He said: Had his hair grown, I would have imposed the prescribed punishment on him. Ubayd bin Umar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A boy who had stolen was brought to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: Look beneath his waist-wrap. They looked, and his hair had not grown, so his hand was not cut off.
