وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ:
إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْأُخْتَيْنِ الْأَمَتَيْنِ، مِنْ مِلْكِ الْيَمِينِ، فَقَالَ: « أَحَلَّتْهُمَا آيَةٌ، وَحَرَّمَتْهُمَا آيَةٌ، وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَصْنَعَهُ ». فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: لَوْ كُنْتُ أَلِي شَيْئًا مِنْ أُمُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهَذَا جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالًا.

✧ 'Uthman ؓ was asked about two sisters who are slave-girls, owned by right hand possession. He said: "One verse permitted them and another verse forbade them. I would not like to do it." This reached a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "If I were in charge of any affairs of the Muslims and this was brought to me, I would make it an exemplary punishment."
