وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ، أَنَّهُ وَهَبَ لِصَاحِبٍ لَهُ جَارِيَةً ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ قَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لاِبْنِي فَيَفْعَلَ بِهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا . فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ لَمَرْوَانُ كَانَ أَوْرَعَ مِنْكَ وَهَبَ لاِبْنِهِ جَارِيَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تَقْرَبْهَا فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ سَاقَهَا مُنْكَشِفَةً .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibrahim ibn Abi Abla from Abdal-Malik ibn Marwan that he gave a slave-girl to a friend of his, andlater asked him about her. He said, "I intended to give her to my sonto do such-and-such with her." Abd al-Malik said, "Marwan was morescrupulous than you. He gave a slave-girl to his son, and then hesaid, 'Do not go near her, for I have seen her leg uncovered .' "
