حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّهْشَلِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ:
أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي جَعَلْتُ جَارِيَتِي حُرَّةً إِنْ نَقَصْتُهَا مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَدْ خِفْتُ أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ الْمَوْسِمُ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَبِيعَهَا، فَتَرَى أَنْ نَبِيعَهَا [٢]بِأَقَلَّ مِمَّا قُلْتُ ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ لَمْ تَخَفِ السُّلْطَانَ، أَوْ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخَافُ السُّلْطَانَ عَلَيْكَ

He said: "If you do not fear the ruler..." or: "Were it not that I fear the ruler for you..."
