He said: 'Woe to you! What is the matter with you?' He said: 'An evil one looked at the slave woman of his master, and he got jealous and cut off his penis.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Bring the man to me.' They searched for him, but they could not find him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Go, for you are free.'
