      وَلَقَدْ خَبَّرَنِي خَبَّازٌ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّهُ جَلَدَهُ عَلَى إِنْضَاجِ الْخُبْزِ، وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ: أَنْضِجْ خُبْزِيَ الَّذِي يُوضَعُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ، وَٱجْعَلْ خُبْزَ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ مَعِي عَلَى مِقْدَارٍ بَيْنَ الْمِقْدَارَيْنِ، وَأَمَّا خُبْزُ العِيَالِ وَٱلضَّيْفِ فَلَا تُقَرِّبَنَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ إِلَّا بِقَدْرِ مَا يَصِيرُ الْعَجِينُ رَغِيفًا، وَبِقَدْرِ مَا يَتَمَاسَكُ فَقَطْ! فَكَلَّفَهُ الْعَوِيصُ. فَلَمَّا أَعْجَزَهُ ذَٰلِكَ جَلَدَهُ حَدَّ الزَّانِي الحُرِّ.

      An acquaintance of mine has a baker who told me that he had been given a flogging because of the way he baked his bread.“Bread for me should be thoroughly baked,” the baker had been instructed, “and bread for my visitors should be half-baked. For the family and house guests, the dough should be kept in the oven just long enough for it to set and take on the appearance of bread.” For his failure to perform this delicate task to satisfaction, the baker received the same punishment as a free-born man who fornicates!
