He said: Mu'awiyah ibn 'Amr narrated to us, who said: 'Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us, from 'Amr, that Bukayr told him, who said: While I was sitting with Sulayman ibn Yasar, 'Abd al-Rahman came and related [a hadith] to Sulayman. Then Sulayman turned to us and said: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jabir narrated to me that his father told him that he heard Abu Burdah say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Do not flog more than ten lashes, except in a matter concerning one of the prescribed punishments of Allah, Mighty and Majestic" - thus he related it to us. My father said: And I incline to it - meaning the hadith of Abu Burdah ibn Niyar.
