[Machine] Come to the prince and I will testify for you, and these traces are interrupted, not the trace of a blade.  

البيهقي:٢٠٥٠٨قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شُبْرُمَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ شَهَادَةٌ فَجُعِلَ قَاضِيًا؟ فَقَالَ أُتِيَ شُرَيْحٌ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ

ائْتِ الْأَمِيرَ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ لَكَ وَهَذِهِ الْآثَارُ مُنْقَطِعَةٌ غَيْرَ أَثَرِ شُرَيْحٍ
