This tradition has also been transmitted by al-Zuhri through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Al-Zuhri added in his version: This was a special concession for him. If a man commits this act today, the expiation is necessary for him. Abu Dawud said: Al-Laith bin Saad, al-Awzai, Mansur bin al-Mu'tamir and 'Irak bin Malik have narrated this tradition like the one narrated by Ibn Uyainah. Al-Awzai narrated in his version the words: Beg pardon of Allah.
