Sunan ad-Darimi 491

Translation

✧ "So he set up a curtain between his council and the rest of his house." They said, "Therefore, his companions used to enter upon him and discuss matters in that place. Then Marwan came to his companions and said, 'I see nothing except that we have been deceived.' Then he approached me and I said, 'And what is that?' He said, 'I see nothing except that we have deceived you.' I said, 'And what is that?' He said, 'We have appointed a man who sits behind this curtain and writes down what you dictate and what you say.'"
