The freed slave of Abu Qilaba, who was with Abu Qilaba in Sham: ʿUmar bin ʿAbdul ʿAziz consulted the people saying, "What do you think of Qasama." They said, "'It is a right (judgment) which Allah's Apostle and the Caliphs before you acted on." Abu Qilaba was behind ʿUmar's bed. 'Anbasa bin Saʿid said, But what about the narration concerning the people of ʿUraina?" Abu Qilaba said, "Anas bin Malik narrated it to me," and then narrated the whole story.
