4642. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Uyaina bin Hiṣn bin Ḥudhaifa came and stayed with his nephew Al-Ḥurr 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 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-Khaṭṭāb! By Allāh, 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! Allāh said to His Prophet ﷺ:
'Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish.' (V.7:199) and this (i.e., 'Uyaina) is one of the foolish." By Allāh, 'Umar did not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him; he observed (the orders of Allāh's Book strictly).
