Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ زِيَادٍ جَالِسَا فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ شَهِدَ فَغَيَّرَ شَهَادَتَهُ فَقَالَ لَأَقْ
طَعَنَّ لِسَانَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَعْلَى أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا تُمَثِّلُوا بِعِبَادِي قَالَ فَتَرَكَهُ

English Translation
ʿAbdullāh ibn Muḥammad narrated to us — ʿAbdullāh said: and I heard it myself from ʿAbdullāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Shaybah — Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl narrated to us, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Ḥafṣ, from Yaʿlā ibn Murrah, that he was sitting with Ziyād when a man was brought who had testified and then changed his testimony. Ziyād said: 'I will cut out your tongue!' Yaʿlā said to him: 'Shall I not narrate to you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah عز وجل said: Do not mutilate My servants.' He said: So he let him go."
