 baker of one of our friends told me that he had flogged him for baking bread and that he had said to him bake the bread that is placed in my hands and make the bread of those who eat with me a measure between the two measures. as for the bread of the family and the guest do not bring it near the fire except to the extent that the dough becomes a loaf and only to the extent that it holds together. so alawis charged him and when he was unable to do so he flogged him with the punishment of a free adulterer.
ولقد خبرني خباز لبعض أصحابنا أنه جلده على إنضاج الخبز، وأنه قال له إنضج خبزي الذي يوضع بين يدي، واجعل خبز من يأكل معي على مقدار بين المقدارين. وأما خبز العيال والضيف، فلا تقربنه من النار إلا بقدر ما يصير العجين رغيفا، وبقدر ما يتماسك فقط. فكلفه العويص ١ ، فلما أعجزه ذلك، جلده حد الزاني الحر.
