[Machine] When Umar saw Ziyad, he said, "I see a wise boy who speaks nothing but the truth and keeps no secrets from me." Ziyad replied, "I did not hear what they said, but I sensed doubt and heard a loud voice." Umar then punished them, except for Ziyad. In another narration, it is mentioned that Abu Bakrah, Ziyad, Nafi', and Shibl bin Ma'bad were in a room while Mughirah was downstairs. Suddenly, a wind blew, opening the door and lifting the curtain, revealing Mughirah between a woman's legs. Some of them said to others, "We have been tested." Abu Bakrah then narrated the story. Ziyad said, "I don't know if he married her or not." Umar punished only Ziyad and Abu Bakrah reminded Umar, "Didn't you punish us as well?" Umar replied, "Yes." Abu Bakrah then said, "I bear witness by Allah, he did it." Umar intended to punish him again, but Ali intervened, saying, "If the testimony of Abu Bakrah is considered equal to the testimony of two men, then stone your companion. Otherwise, you have already punished him by accusing him of adultery."
