It is narrated from Yahya ibn Sa'id that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: I have killed a locust while in the state of ihram. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him): Come, let us decide together. Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One dirham is obligatory. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have many dirhams; in my view, one date is better than a locust.
