Hadith 29:133
Ja'far ibn 'Awn narrated to us, from Abu al-Umays, who said: Qays ibn Muslim informed me, from Tariq ibn Shihab, who said: When Umar arrived in al-Sham, he addressed the people and said: "I do not want to know of any man who tethers his horse among a group of people." He said: Then a boy was brought who was being carried, for the leg of a horse had struck him. Umar said to him: "Did you not hear my statement yesterday?" He said: "Yes, O Commander of the Faithful." He said: "Then what drove you to do what you did?" He said: "I saw a vacant space on the road." He said: "I do not see you offering an excuse of a man." He said: "Bring two men against him, so they may take him out of the mosque and beat him severely." The people were silent, and none of them answered him. He said: Then he repeated his statement. Abu Ubaydah said to him: "O Commander of the Faithful, do you not see in the faces of the people a dislike that you should disgrace their companion?" He said: So he said to the people of the boy: "Go with him and treat him, for by Allah, if something happens to him, I will surely make an example of you." He said: The boy recovered, and Allah granted him health.
حدثنا جعفر بن عون عن أبي العميس قال أخبرني قيس بن مسلم عن طارق بن شهاب قال لما قدم عمر الشام خطب الناس فقال لا أعرفن رجلا طول لفرسه في جماعة من الناس قال فأتي بغلام يحمل قد ضربته رجل فرس فقال له عمر ما سمعت مقالتي بالأمس قال بلى يا أمير المؤمنين قال فما حملك على ما صنعت قال رأيت من الطريق خلوة قال ما أراك تعتذر بعذر من رجل يجلبان على هذا فيخرجاه من المسجد فيوسعانه ضربا والقوم سكوت لا يجيبه منهم أحد قال ثم أعاد مقالته فقال له أبو عبيدة يا أمير المؤمنين ما ترى في وجوه القوم كراهة أن تفضح صاحبهم قال فقال لأهل الغلام انطلقوا به فعالجوه فوالله لأن حدث به حدث لأجعلنك نكالا قال فبريء الغلام وعافاه الله
