4875 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَبَسَ نَاسًا فِي تُهْمَةٍ»

And during his imprisonment, for investigation, he could not be subjected to torture. Otherwise legal proceedings would be brought for retribution against the torturer.
