"عن إِسماعيلَ بنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ: قَذفَ رجل رجلًا في هجاءٍ أو عرَّضَ له فيه، فَاسْتأدَى عَلَيه عُمرَ بن الخطابِ فقَالَ: لم أعْنِ هذا، قال الرجلُ: فيسمى لك من عَنى، قال عمرُ: (صدق) قد أقررتَ على نفسك بالقبِيح فورِّكْهُ على من شِئتَ، فَلمْ يَذْكُرْ أحدًا، فَجَلده الحدَّ".

"On the authority of Isma'il ibn Umayyah, who said: A man slandered another man in a satire, or alluded to him in it, so the man sought redress from Umar ibn al-Khattab. The accuser said: 'I did not mean him.' The other man said: 'Then name for me the one he meant.' Umar said: '(He is right). You have admitted the ugliness against yourself, so attribute it to whomever you wish.' He did not name anyone, so Umar flogged him the prescribed punishment."
