Sahih al-Bukhari 7009 (Book 96, Hadith 17)
Qais bin Hisn who was one of those whom `Umar used to keep near him, as the Qurra’ (learned men
knowing Qur’an by heart) were the people of `Umar’s meetings and his advisors whether they were old
or young. ‘Uyaina said to his nephew, “O my nephew! Have you an approach to this chief so as to get
for me the permission to see him?” His nephew said, “I will get the permission for you to see him.”
(Ibn `Abbas added: ) So he took the permission for ‘Uyaina, and when the latter entered, he said, “O
the son of Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with
justice.” On that `Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him. Al-Hurr, said, “O Chief of
the Believers!” Allah said to His Apostle ‘Hold to forgiveness, command what is good (right), and
leave the foolish (i.e. do not punish them).’ (7.199) and this person is among the foolish.” By Allah,
`Umar did not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him, and `Umar said to observe (the
orders of) Allah’s Book strictly.” (See Hadith No. 166, Vol. 6)
