أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ الظَّفِرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ دُحَيْمٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ثنا قَبِيصَةُ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ قَالَ اشْتَكَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَاشْتَدَّ وَجَعُهُ فَنُعِتَ لَهُ الْكِيُّ فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَسَكَتَ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَارْضِفُوهُ بِالرَّضْفِ

He was silent three times, then said: 'If you wish [cauterize him], and if you wish, apply heated stones to him.'"
