SubhanAllaah!! If only we were like the
sahabas! Wallahi this world would be a
different place to live in :')
‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab (ra) once saw a man
speaking to a woman on the roadside. He
began to beat him with his stick and asked
the man why he was shamelessly speaking to
a woman by the roadside.
The man answered that the woman was his
wife.
‘Umar then said: “Then why are you
discussing your personal matters by the
roadside and enticing the people to listen to
your personal conversation?“
He answered: “O leader of the believers, we
have just arrived in Madeenah and were
discussing where we should stay.“
When ‘Umar heard his answer he apologizes to
the man, gave him his stick, and ordered him
to take his revenge. The man said: “I forgive
you for the sake of Allaah.” However ‘Umar
insisted that the man take the stick and seek
out his revenge, but the man refused every
time. Thereby, ‘Umar said: “Your reward will
be with Allaah.“
[Akhbaar'Umar, p. 190]
