[Machine] When Omar witnessed these three, they differed with Omar. So when Ziyad stood up, he said, "If you testify, then by the will of Allah, testify with the truth." Ziyad said, "As for adultery, I do not testify to it, but I have seen something ugly." Omar said, "Allah is the greatest in their matter," so they whipped them. Abu Bakr then said, after he was beaten, "I testify that he committed adultery." Omar understood that he should be whipped again, so Ali forbade him and said, "If you whip him, then stone your companion." So he left him and did not whip him.
