Imam Abu ‘Abd ar-Rahman ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak (r.a.) reported that one time, Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Malik ibn Anas (r.a.) was continuously stung by a scorpion, under his garment, over ten times while narrating ahadits. During the narration of the ahadits, he did not stop in order to remove it; rather he continued to narrate until the end. “I noticed the discoloration of his face when the Imam was being stung. Afterwards, when all the people had left, I came to the Imam and asked him what had happened.
He replied, ‘A scorpion was stinging me under my garment. I could not have kept my patience because of myself restraint; rather it was out of the respect of the ahadits of the Prophet (s.a.w.) that I did not remove it.’”
