Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Yusuf Bin Al Haris, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahman A lArzamy, from his father Abdul Rahman, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws having said: ‘They came to Umar with a man who had been sodomised in his backside. So he understood that he should be whipped. So he said to the witnesses, ‘Did you all see him to be entered into like the entering of the applicator into the kohl?’ So they said, ‘Yes’. So he said to Ali^asws, ‘What do you^asws view with regards to this?’ So he^asws sought the stallion who had copulated with him, but he was not found. So Ali^asws said: ‘I^asws see with regards to him that you should strike his neck’. He^asws said: ‘So he ordered for his neck to be struck off. Then he^asws said: ‘Hold him, for there remains for him another punishment’. They said, ‘And what is it?’ He^asws said: ‘Call for some firewood!’ So he called for some firewood. So he (the body) was wrapped, then brought out and incinerated with the fire. He^asws said: ‘Then he^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj has servants, for whom in their loins are wombs like the wombs of the women’. He said, ‘So what is for them that they do not become pregnant in these?’ He^asws said: ‘Because it is inverted in their backsides, a gland like the gland of the camel. So when it stirs, they stir, and when it is calm, they are calm’.
