"عَنْ محمد بن سيرين قال: قَدِمَ الجارودُ فوضعَ رَحْلَهُ على رحل ابن عفان، أو ابن عوفٍ، فانطلقَ صاحبُ رَحْلِه إلى عمرَ فذكره له، فقال: إنى لأهُمُّ أَنْ أُخيِّرَ الجارودَ بين إحدى ثلاث: (بين) أن أُقَدِّمَه فأضربَ عُنُقه وبين أن أَحْبِسَهُ بالْمدينَةِ مُهَانًا مَقْصِيّا، وبين أن أُسيِّرَهُ إلى الشام، فقال: يا أميرَ المؤمنين: ما تركتَ له مُتَخيَرًا فانطلق بهنَّ، فلقى الجارودَ، قال: فما قلتَ لَهُ؟ قال. قلت: يا أمير المؤمنين: ما تركتَ له مُتَخَيَرًا؟ قال: بلى كُلُّهن لىِ خِيَرَةٌ، أما أن يقدمنى فيضرب عنقى فوالله ما أراهُ (كان) لِيُؤْثرَنِى على نفسه، وإما أن يحبسنى في المدينة مُهَانًا مَقْضِيًا في جوار قبر رسول الله ﷺ وأزواج النبى ﷺ فَما أَكْرَهُ أن يُسَيِّرَنِى إلى الشَّامِ فَأَرْضُ الْمَحْشَرِ وأرض الْمَنْشَر، قال: فانطلق فلقى أمير المؤمنين فذكر ذلك له، فقال: أَيْن هُوَ؟ فأرسلوا إليه فجاء فقال: إِيهِ من شهودك؟ قال: أبو هريرة: قال أَختيُنِكَ؟ أما والله لأَوْجَعنَّ متنيه بالسوط، فقال: والله ما ذاك بالعدل أن يَشْربَ خَتَنُكَ وتَجْلِدَ خَتَنِى، قال: ومن؟ قال: عَلْقَمَةُ، قال: الصَّدُوقُ، أرسلوا إليه، فجاء فقال لأبى هريرة: بما يَشْهَدُ؟ قال: أشهد أنى رأيته يشربها مع ابن دسر حتى جعلها في بطنه، وقال لذلك بما تشهد قال: وتجوز شهادة الخصِى، قال: ما رأيته شربها، ولكنى رأيته مَجَّهَا، قال: لعمرى ما مَجَّهَا حتى شَرِبهَا، ما حَابَيْتُ بالأمارة منذُ كنتُ عليها رجلًا غَيْرَهُ فَما بُورِكَ لِى فيه، إذهبوا به فاجلدوه ".

"It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Sirin that he said: al-Jarud arrived and placed his saddlebag on the saddlebag of Ibn 'Affan, or Ibn 'Awf. The owner of the saddlebag went to 'Umar and mentioned it to him. He said: 'I am indeed resolved to give al-Jarud a choice between three things: that I bring him forward and strike his neck, or that I imprison him in Madinah humiliated and disgraced, or that I exile him to al-Sham.' He said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, you have left him no choice.' So he set off and met al-Jarud. He said: 'What did you say to him?' He said: 'I said: O Commander of the Faithful, you have left him no choice?' He said: 'Yes, all of them are choices for me. As for his bringing me forward and striking my neck, by Allah I do not think he would prefer me over himself. As for imprisoning me in Madinah humiliated and disgraced beside the grave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, I do not mind; and as for exiling me to al-Sham, the land of gathering and the land of resurrection, I do not dislike it.' He set off and met the Commander of the Faithful and told him that. He said: 'Where is he?' They sent for him and he came. He said: 'Well, who are your witnesses?' He said: 'Abu Hurayrah.' He said: 'Your brother-in-law? By Allah, I will surely bruise his back with the whip.' He said: 'By Allah, that is not just, that your brother-in-law drinks and my brother-in-law is flogged.' He said: 'And who else?' He said: 'Alqamah.' He said: 'The truthful one. Send for him.' He came and he said to Abu Hurayrah: 'What does he testify to?' He said: 'I bear witness that I saw him drinking it with Ibn Dasr until he put it in his stomach.' He said to him: 'What do you testify?' He said: 'And is the testimony of a eunuch accepted?' He said: 'I did not see him drink it, but I saw him spit it out.' He said: 'By my life, he did not spit it out until he drank it. I have not shown favour in the governorship since I became a man in charge except to him, and no blessing has come to me through him. Go with him and flog him.'"
