( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهُ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ - هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ:
أَنَّ نَاسًا شَهِدُوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ فِي الزِّنَا، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ: هَكَذَا تَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّهُ ؟ وَجَعَلَ يُدْخِلُ إِصْبَعَهُ السَّبَّابَةَ فِي إِصْبَعِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَقَدْ عَقَدَهَا عَشْرًا
