باب الاِقْتِدَاءِ بِسُنَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

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. 6)

Sahih al-Bukhari

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى ابْنِ أَخِيهِ الْحُرِّ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، وَكَانَ مِنَ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ يُدْنِيهِمْ عُمَرُ، وَكَانَ الْقُرَّاءُ أَصْحَابَ مَجَالِسِ عُمَرَ وَمُشَاوَرَتِهِ كُهُولاً كَانُوا أَوْ شُبَّانًا‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ لاِبْنِ أَخِيهِ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، لَكَ وَجْهٌ عِنْدَ هَذَا الأَمِيرِ فَاسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَيْهِ‏.‏ قَالَ سَأَسْتَأْذِنُ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ الْحُرُّ لِعُيَيْنَةَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ عُمَرُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هِيْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تُعْطِينَا الْجَزْلَ، وَلاَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْعَدْلِ‏.‏ فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ حَتَّى هَمَّ بِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحُرُّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏[quran sura="7" aya_start="199" aya_end="199"]{‏خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ‏}‏ وَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ‏.‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا جَاوَزَهَا عُمَرُ حِينَ تَلاَهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ وَقَّافًا عِنْدَ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ‏.‏

باب ‏<a href="https://quran.com/7/199-199">{‏خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ‏}</a>‏ الْعُرْفُ: الْمَعْرُوفُ

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

'Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa came and stayed with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais 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 son of my brother! You have an approach to this chief, so get for me the permission to see 
him." Al-Hurr said, "I will get the permission for you to see him." So Al-Hurr asked the permission 
for 'Uyaina and `Umar admitted him. When 'Uyaina entered upon him, he said, "Beware! O the son of 
Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice." 
Thereupon `Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him, but Al-Hurr said, "O chief of the 
Believers! Allah said to His Prophet: "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; and leave (don't 
punish) the foolish." (7.199) and this (i.e. 'Uyaina) is one of the foolish." By Allah, `Umar did not 
overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him; he observed (the orders of) Allah's Book 
strictly.

"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them)." (V.7:199)

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏[quran sura="7" aya_start="199" aya_end="199"]{‏خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ‏}‏ قَالَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ فِي أَخْلاَقِ النَّاسِ‏.‏

Narrated `Abdullah bin AzZubair:

(The Verse) "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right..." was revealed by Allah except in 
connection with the character of the people.
