Abu al-Nadr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was standing on the pulpit, and said: Your governor has beaten me and wronged me. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I will certainly get you retaliation. Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Commander of the Believers! Will you take retaliation from your own governor? He said: Yes, I will certainly take retaliation from him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) themselves gave retaliation; so shall I not take retaliation from him? Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Can nothing other than this be done? He asked: What is it? He said: Whatever he is satisfied with. He said: Very well, whatever the wronged man is satisfied with.
