( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَرْدَسْتَانِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ بِبُخَارَى، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ قَالَ:
أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ بِرَجُلٍ فِي حَدٍّ فَأُتِيَ بِسَوْطٍ فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ فَقَالَ: أُرِيدُ أَلْيَنَ مِنْ هَذَا. ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِسَوْطٍ فِيهِ لِينٌ فَقَالَ: أُرِيدُ أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا. فَأُتِيَ بِسَوْطٍ بَيْنَ السَّوْطَيْنِ فَقَالَ: اضْرِبْ، وَلَا يُرَى إِبْطُكَ، وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ عُضْوٍ حَقَّهُ

ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) was brought a man for a prescribed punishment (ḥadd). A whip was brought that was hard, and he said: "I want one softer than this." Then a whip was brought that was soft, and he said: "I want one harder than this." Then a whip was brought between the two whips, and he said: "Strike, and do not let your armpit be seen, and give every limb its due."
