"عَنْ أَبِى عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِىِّ قَالَ: أُتِىَ عُمَرُ بِرَجُلٍ فِى حدٍّ، فَأَمَرَ بِسَوْطٍ، فَجِئَ بِسَوْطٍ فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ، فَقَالَ: أُرِيد اللَّيَّنَ مِنْ هَذَا، فَأُتِىَ بِسَوْطٍ فِيهِ لِينٌ، فَقَالَ: أُرِيدُ سَوْطًا أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا، فَأُتِىَ بِسَوْطٍ بَيْنَ السَّوْطَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: اضْرِبْ بِهِ وَلَا يُرَى إِبْطُكَ، وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ عُضْوٍ حَقَّهُ".

"From Abu 'Uthman al-Nahdi, who said: A man was brought to 'Umar for a hadd punishment. He ordered a whip, and a harsh whip was brought. He said: I want something softer than this. A softer whip was brought. He said: I want a whip harsher than this. A whip between the two was brought. He said: Strike with it, but do not let your armpit be seen, and give every limb its due."
