البيهقي:١٧٣١٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ أَنَّ عَامِلًا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَخَذَ أُنَاسًا فِي حِرَابَةٍ وَلَمْ يَقْتُلُوا فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ أَوْ يَقْطَعَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ بِأَيْسَرَ ذَلِكَ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ أَحَدَهُمْ
