Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who was one of the governors of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), gave two cushions as a gift to the wife of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, saw them and asked: "Where did you get these two from? Did you buy them? Tell me, and do not lie to me." She said: "So-and-so sent them to me." He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "May Allah destroy so-and-so! When he wants something and cannot get it through me, he comes to me through my family." Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) pulled them out forcefully from under those who were sitting on them and went out carrying them. Her slave girl followed him and said: "Their wool is ours." So he ripped them open, threw the wool to her and went out with them. He gave one of them to a woman of the Muhajirun and the other to a woman of the Ansar.
