[Machine] Ali used to cut, enforce, and imprison. When they were acquitted, he would send for them and release them. Then, he would say, "Raise your hands to Allah," and they would raise their hands. He would say, "Who cut you?" They would say, "Ali." He would ask, "Why?" They would say, "We stole." He would say, "O Allah, bear witness. O Allah, bear witness to the statement of the shoe incident." The narration in which Ali bin Madini mentioned was also narrated by Ammar bin Ruzayq Ad-Dabbi from Salamah bin Kuhail. Ibn Abjar disagreed regarding its chain of narration.
