وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ النَّاسِ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : " هَلْ كَانَ فِيكُمْ مِنْ مُغَرِّبَةِ خَبَرٍ ؟ " فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ، رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ " . قَالَ : فَمَا فَعَلْتُمْ بِهِ ؟ قَالَ : قَرَّبْنَاهُ فَضَرَبْنَا عُنُقَهُ . فَقَالَ
عُمَرُ :
" أَفَلَا حَبَسْتُمُوهُ ثَلَاثًا وَأَطْعَمْتُمُوهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ رَغِيفًا وَاسْتَتَبْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ يَتُوبُ وَيُرَاجِعُ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَمْ أَحْضُرْ، وَلَمْ آمُرْ، وَلَمْ أَرْضَ إِذْ بَلَغَنِي "
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Qari that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the direction of Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), that is, from Yemen. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him about the condition of the people there, and he described it. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you know of any unusual thing? The man replied: Yes, a person became a disbeliever after accepting Islam. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What did you do with him? The man replied: We seized him and struck his neck. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You should have imprisoned him for three days and given him bread each day, then made him repent, perhaps he would have repented and then accepted Allah’s command. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Allah! I was not present there at that time, nor did I order it, nor was I pleased when I came to know about it.
