Abdul-Malik bin Marwan once gave a slave girl as a gift to a companion of his, and later asked him about her. The man said, "I have been thinking of giving her to my son so that he may do such and such with her."Abdul-Malik replied, "Marwan was more scrupulous than you. He gave his son a slave girl and then told him, 'Do not go near her, for I have seen her leg uncovered.'"
و حدثني عن مالك
عن عبد الملك بن مروان أنه وهب لصاحب له جارية ثم سأله عنها فقال قد هممت أن أهبها لابني فيفعل بها كذا وكذا فقال عبد الملك لمروان كان أورع منك وهب لابنه جارية ثم قال لا تقربها فإني قد رأيت ساقها منكشفة
