[Machine] They decided concerning the milta (a part of the sheep's stomach) and it is the wet tripe, with half of what is in the muwadhdha (another part of the stomach). Abdur-Razzaq said, then Sufyan came to us and we asked him about it, so he narrated to us about it from Malik. Then I met Malik and said, "Indeed, Sufyan narrated to me from you from Ibn Qusayt from Ibn al-Musayyib that Umar and Uthman decided concerning the milta with half of the muwadhdha." He said, "True, you have informed me." I said to him, "Inform me about it." He said, "I do not inform about it today." So Muslim ibn Khalid said to him, while he was next to him, "I have determined on you, O Abu Abdullah, that you do not narrate it to him." He said, "You have determined on me, if I were narrating it today, I would narrate it to him." I said, "Why do you not narrate it to me, while you have narrated it to others?" He said, "Indeed, the work with us is different, and the narrator is not here, meaning Ibn Qusayt, so this is the excuse of Malik bin Anas, may Allah have mercy on him and us, from inclining towards this narration." Al-Shafi'i said, may Allah have mercy on him, in what he stated in his statement, we were narrated that Zaid bin Thabit had decided in what is less than the muwadhdha, even in the dhamiya.
