Hadith 24:72

Abdullah ibn Idris narrated to us, from his father, from Abdullah ibn Abi al-Safar, from al-Sha’bi, who said: I have not known anyone who took retribution from Shurayh except for a Bedouin. Shurayh said to him, "Your tongue is longer than your hand." The Bedouin said to him, "Are you a Samiri, that you say, 'Do not touch'?" Shurayh said to him, "Proceed to your matter." He said, "That is what brought me to you." He said: When he wanted to stand up, Shurayh said to him, "I did not intend you with my statement, nor did I act boldly against you."

حدثنا عبد الله بن إدريس عن أبيه عن عبد الله بن أبي السفر عن الشعبي قال ما علمت أحدا انتصف من شريح إلا اعرابي قال له شريح إن لسانك أطول من يدك فقال الأعرابي أسامري أنت فلا تمس قال له شريح أقبل قبل أمرك قال ذاك أهلني إليك قال فلما أراد أن يقوم قال له شريح إني لم أردك بقولي ولا اجتريت عليك
