526 — Ahmad ibn Ibrāhīm al-ʿAbdī narrated to us. Muhammad ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us. Dāwud al-ʿAttār narrated to me, saying: Qutaybah ibn Muslim sent Bakr ibn Māʿiz back from Khurāsān. A man accompanied him and asked, “Bakr, have you ever lied?” He did not answer him. The man then asked, “Bakr, have you ever lied?” Again, he did not answer him. Then he asked, “Bakr, have you ever lied?” He continued to give him no answer until he reached Hammām ʿUmar—or Hammām Aʿyan. The man then asked, “Bakr, have you ever lied?” He replied, “You have pressed me enough. I have never lied except once. Qutaybah required us to equip ourselves with weapons, so I borrowed a spear. When I passed before him carrying it, he asked, ‘Bakr, does this weapon belong to you?’ I said, ‘Yes,’ though the spear was not mine.”
