Hadith 28:124
Ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Dinar, that he heard Bajalah narrating to ‘Amr ibn Aws and Abu al-Sha’tha’, he said: I was a scribe for Juz’ ibn Mu’awiyah, and a letter came to us from ‘Umar: "Kill every male sorcerer and female sorceress, and separate between every two people who are mahram (prohibited for marriage) among the Magians, and forbid them from the *zamzamah* (muttering/chanting during worship)." So we killed three sorceresses, and we began to separate between a man and his female relative according to the Book of Allah.
حدثنا بن عيينة عن عمرو بن دينار أنه سمع بجالة يحدث عمرو بن أوس وأبا الشعثاء قال كنت كاتبا لجزء بن معاوية فأتانا كتاب عمر أن اقتلوا كل ساحر وساحرة وفرقوا بين كل ذي محرم من المجوس وانههم عن الزمزمة فقتلنا ثلاث سواحر وجعلنا نفرق بين المرء وبين حريمه في كتاب الله
