حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى ابْنِ أَخِيهِ الْحُرِّ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ حِصْنٍ، وَكَانَ مِنَ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ يُدْنِيهِمْ عُمَرُ، وَكَانَ الْقُرَّاءُ أَصْحَابَ مَجْلِسِ عُمَرَ وَمُشَاوَرَتِهِ كُهُولاً كَانُوا أَوْ شُبَّانًا فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ لاِبْنِ أَخِيهِ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي هَلْ لَكَ وَجْهٌ عِنْدَ هَذَا الأَمِيرِ فَتَسْتَأْذِنَ لِي عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَأَسْتَأْذِنُ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ لِعُيَيْنَةَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَاللَّهِ مَا تُعْطِينَا الْجَزْلَ، وَمَا تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْعَدْلِ‏.‏ فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ حَتَّى هَمَّ بِأَنْ يَقَعَ بِهِ فَقَالَ الْحُرُّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏{‏خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ‏}‏ وَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ‏.‏ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا جَاوَزَهَا عُمَرُ حِينَ تَلاَهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ وَقَّافًا عِنْدَ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ‏.‏

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas:Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa bin Badr came and stayed (at Medina) with his nephew Al-Hurr bin 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)

Abdullah bin Abbas bataate hain: Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa bin Badr aaye aur apne bhatije Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn ke paas thehre, jo un logon mein se the jinhein Umar apne qareeb rakhte the, kyunke Al-Qurra (Quran ke haafiz) Umar ki majlison ke log aur unke salaahkaar hote the, chaahe wo boodhe hon ya jawaan. Uyaina ne apne bhatije se kaha, 'Aye mere bhatije! Kya tumhaari is sardaar tak pahunch hai ke main unse mil sakoon isliye tum mujhe ijaazat dilwaa sako?' Bhatije ne kaha, 'Main aapke liye ijaazat le loonga.' (Ibn Abbas ne izaafa kiya:) To unhone Uyaina ke liye ijaazat li, aur jab wo andar daakhil hue, unhone kaha, 'Aye Khattab ke bete! Allah ki qasam, na aap humein kaafi rasad dete hain aur na hi hamare beech insaaf se faisla karte hain.' Isper, Umar itne gusse mein aa gaye ke unhein nuqsaan pahunchaane ka iraada kiya. Al-Hurr ne kaha, 'Aye Momineen ke Ameer! Allah ne apne Rasool se kaha, "Maafi ko apnao, achhaai (sahi baat) ka hukm do, aur naadaanon se munh mod lo (yaani unhein saza mat do)." (7:199) aur ye shaks naadaanon mein se hain.' Allah ki qasam, Umar ne is Aayat ko nazar-andaaz nahi kiya jab Al-Hurr ne unke saamne isse padha, aur Umar ne (hamesha) Allah ki Kitaab ki hidaayaton par sakhti se amal kiya. (Poori tafseel ke liye Hadees No. 166, Jild dekhein.)
