موطأ مالك#1130SahihThese are the words of a Successor — the generation after the Companions — not of the Prophet ﷺ.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ، أَنَّهُ وَهَبَ لِصَاحِبٍ لَهُ جَارِيَةً ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ قَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لاِبْنِي فَيَفْعَلَ بِهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا . فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ لَمَرْوَانُ كَانَ أَوْرَعَ مِنْكَ وَهَبَ لاِبْنِهِ جَارِيَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تَقْرَبْهَا فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ سَاقَهَا مُنْكَشِفَةً .

He gave a slave-girl to his son, and then he said, 'Do not go near her, for I have seen her leg uncovered
