وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَتَلَ نَفَرًا خَمْسَةً أَوْ سَبْعَةً بِرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ قَتَلُوهُ قَتْلَ غِيلَةٍ، وَقَالَ
عُمَرُ :
" لَوْ تَمَالَأَ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ صَنْعَاءَ لَقَتَلْتُهُمْ جَمِيعًا "
It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, killed five or seven men in retaliation for one person; they had deceived and killed him. Then Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: If all the people of Sana'a had participated in his killing, I would have killed them all.
