أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ
سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ: صَبِيغٌ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ مُتَشَابِهِ الْقُرْآنِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ
عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَقَدْ أَعَدَّ لَهُ عَرَاجِينَ النَّخْلِ، فَقَالَ:
"مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟، قَالَ: أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ صَبِيغٌ، فَأَخَذَ عُمَرُ عُرْجُونًا مِنْ تِلْكَ الْعَرَاجِينِ، فَضَرَبَهُ وَقَالَ: أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عُمَرُ فَجَعَلَ لَهُ ضَرْبًا حَتَّى دَمِيَ رَأْسُهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، حَسْبُكَ، قَدْ ذَهَبَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَجِدُ فِي رَأْسِي".
Sulayman bin Yasar said: A man whose name was Sabigh came to Madinah and began asking about the mutashabihat (ambiguous) verses of the Qur'an. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called for palm branches and summoned him. He asked, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Allah's servant, Sabigh." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) picked up one of those branches and said, "I am Allah's servant, Umar," and began to beat him, until his head was covered in blood. Then he said, "Enough, O Commander of the Faithful, the doubts that had entered my mind have now gone."
