"عَنْ أَبى مَاجدٍ الْحَنَفِىِّ أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَتاهُ رَجُلٌ بِابْنِ أَخِيْهِ وَهُوَ سَكْرَانُ، فَقَالَ تَرْتِرُوهُ وَمَزْمِزُوهُ وَاسْتَنْكِهُوهُ. فَتَرْتَرُوهُ وَمَزْمزُوهُ () واسْتَنْكَهُوُه، فَوَجَدُوا مِنْهُ ريحَ شَرَابٍ، فَأَمَرَ به عَبْدُ الله إِلَى السِّجْنِ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بسَوْطٍ فَدُقَّتْ ثَمَرَثُهُ حَتَّى آضَتْ لَهُ مُخَفِّقَةً، يَعْنِى صَارَتْ. ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْجَلَّادِ: اضْرِبْ وَأَرْجِعْ يَدَكَ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ عُضْوٍ حَقَّهُ فَضَرَبَهُ عَبْدُ الله ضَرْبًا غَيْرَ مُبَرِّحٍ وَأَوْجَعَهُ، قِيلَ: يَا أَبَا مَاجِدٍ مَا الْمُبَرحُ؟ قَالَ: ضَرْبُ الأُمَرَاءِ، قيلَ: فَمَا قَوْلُهُ: أَرْجِعْ يَدَكَ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا يَتَمَطَّى وَلَا يُرَى إِبِطُه، قَالَ: فَأَقَامَهُ فِى قبَاءٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: بئْسَ لعَمْرُ الله وَالَى الْيَتِيمِ هَذَا، مَا أَدَّبْتَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ الأَدَبَ، وَلَا سَتَرْتَ الْجزية، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ الله: إِنَّ الله غَفُورٌ يُحِبُّ الْغَفُورَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِى لِوَالٍ أَنْ يُؤتَى بَحَدٍّ إِلَّا أَقَامَهُ، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عَبْدُ الله يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: أَوَّلُ رَجُلٍ قُطِعَ منَ الْمُسْلِمينَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أُتِىَ بهِ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَكَأنَّمَا أُسِفَّ في وَجْهِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ رَمَادًا - يَعْنِى ذُرَّ عَلَيْه رَمَادٌ فَقَالُوا - يَا رَسُولَ الله: كَأَنَّ هَذَا شَقَّ عَلَيْكَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ وَمَا يَمْنَعُنى وَأَنْتُمْ أَعَوَانُ الشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى صَاحِبكُمْ، إِنَّ الله عَفُوٌّ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغى لِوَالٍ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِحَدٍّ إِلَّا أَقَامَهُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُوا} ".

"From Abu Majid al-Hanafi, that a man brought his nephew to Ibn Mas'ud while he was drunk. He said: Shake him, jostle him, and smell his breath. They shook him, jostled him, and smelled his breath, and found from him the smell of drink. 'Abd Allah ordered him to prison, then released him the next day. Then he ordered a whip, its lash was pounded until it became limp for him, meaning it became soft. Then he said to the executioner: Strike and keep your hand raised, and give every limb its due. 'Abd Allah struck him a blow that was not severe but painful. It was said: O Abu Majid, what is 'severe'? He said: The striking of rulers. It was said: What is his saying 'keep your hand raised'? He said: He should not stretch out and his armpit should not be seen. He said: Then he made him stand in a robe and trousers. Then he said: By the Lord, what a guardian of the orphan this is! You did not discipline well, nor did you conceal the tax. Then 'Abd Allah said: Indeed Allah is Forgiving and loves forgiveness, and it is not fitting for a ruler that a prescribed penalty be brought to him and he does not implement it. Then 'Abd Allah began to narrate: The first man among the Muslims to have his hand cut off was a man from the Ansar. He was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was as if ashes were sprinkled on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, meaning ashes were spread over it. They said: O Messenger of Allah, does this seem to distress you? The Prophet ﷺ said: What prevents me, when you are helpers of Satan against your companion? Indeed Allah is Pardoning and loves pardon, and it is not fitting for a ruler that a prescribed penalty be brought to him and he does not implement it. Then he recited: {And let them pardon and overlook}."
