حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ أَبِي الْمُعَلَّى - مَوْلًى لِبَنِي تَمِيمٍ - قَالَ:
شَهِدْتُ إِيَاسَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَاخْتُصِمَ إِلَيْهِ فِي جَارِيَةٍ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: إِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْ هَذَا جَارِيَةً [فَوَجَدْتُهَا] [١]حَمْقَاءَ، قَالَ: مَا أَعْلَمُهُ يُرَدُّ مِنَ الْحُمْقِ ! فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ حُمْقٌ كَالْجُنُونِ ! قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهَا بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ: تَذْكُرِينَ لَيْلَةَ وُلِدْتِ [٢]؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهَا: أَيُّ رِجْلَيْكِ أَطْوَلُ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَتْ بِإِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهَا: هَذِهِ [٣]، قَالَ: فَرَدَّهَا

I witnessed Iyas ibn Mu'awiyah when a dispute was brought before him concerning a slave girl. The man said: I bought a slave girl from this one and found her foolish [1]. He said: I do not know that she is returned for foolishness! He said: It is a foolishness like madness! He said: Then he said to her in Persian: Do you remember the night you were born [2]? She said: Yes. He said: Which of your two legs is longer? He said: She pointed with one of her legs: This one [3]. He ruled that she be returned.
