أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ رَاهَوَيْهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَرَازِيُّ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ أَنَّهُ رَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْكَلَاعِيِّينَ
أَنَّ حَاكَةً سَرَقُوا مَتَاعًا فَحَبَسَهُمْ أَيَّامًا ثُمَّ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُمْ فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا خَلَّيْتَ سَبِيلَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِلَا امْتِحَانٍ وَلَا ضَرْبٍ فَقَالَ النُّعْمَانُ مَا شِئْتُمْ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَضْرِبُهُمْ فَإِنْ أَخْرَجَ اللهُ مَتَاعَكُمْ فَذَاكَ وَإِلَّا أَخَذْتُ مِنْ ظُهُورِكُمْ مِثْلَهُ قَالُوا هَذَا حُكْمُكَ؟ قَالَ هَذَا حُكْمُ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِمِثْلِهِ وَإِنَّمَا أَخْرَجْتُهُ لِيُعْرَفَ

✧ Some weavers stole goods, so he imprisoned them for days and then released them. They came to him and said, "You released these people without examination or beating." Al-Nu'man said, "Whatever you wish. If you wish, I will beat them; if Allah brings out your goods, then that is that; otherwise I will take the like of it from your backs." They said, "Is this your ruling?" He said, "This is the ruling of Allah and His Messenger." Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: This is a rejected hadith, the like of which is not to be used as evidence. I only cited it so that it may be known.
