Al-Samt wa-Adab al-LisanIbn Abi al-Dunya

586 — Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿīd also related to me; Mūsā ibn Ayyūb related to us; Damra related to us, from al-ʿAlāʾ ibn Hārūn, who said: ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz—may Allah have mercy on him—was so guarded in his speech that he never uttered anything indecent. Then an abscess developed in his armpit. They said, “What could he possibly say now?” They asked, “Abū Hafs, where on your body did this abscess appear?” He replied, “On the inside of my arm.”

٥٨٦ - وَحَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ هَارُونَ قَالَ: كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ﵁ يَتَحَفَّظُ فِي مِنْطِقِهِ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَنَا فَخَرَجَ بِهِ خَرْجٌ فِي إِبْطِهِ، فَقَالُوا: أَيُّ شَيْءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَقُولَ الْآنَ؟ قَالُوا: يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ: أَيْنَ خَرَجَ مِنْكَ هَذَا الْخَرْجُ؟ قَالَ: «فِي بَاطِنِ يَدِي»
