7286. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: 'Uyaina bin Hiṣn bin Hudhaifa bin Badr came and stayed (at Al-Madīna) with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hiṣn, who was one of those whom 'Umar used to keep near him, as the Qurra' (learned men knowing the 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 'Abbās added:) So he took the permission for 'Uyaina, and when the latter entered, he said, "O the son of Al-Khaṭṭāb! By Allāh, 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!" Allāh said to His Messenger ﷺ: 'Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., do not punish them)' (V.7:199) and this person is among the foolish. By Allāh, 'Umar did not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him, and 'Umar used to observe (the orders of) Allāh's Book strictly." [See Vol. 6, Hadīth No. 4642]
