Abu Layla said, "Salman went out and when his animal fodder fell from the manger, he told his servant, 'If it were not that I fear retaliation, I would make you hurt (i.e. by beating you)."

الأدب المفرد:١٨٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا لَيْلَى قَالَ خَرَجَ سَلْمَانُ فَإِذَا عَلَفُ دَابَّتِهِ يَتَسَاقَطُ مِنَ الْآرِيِّ فَقَالَ لِخَادِمِهِ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي أَخَافُ الْقِصَاصَ لَأَوْجَعْتُكَ
