Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-nass Wel-ijtihad (Part 5) Part 5 his companions: Do not answer him![1] Abu Sufyan said: O Umar, I adjure you by Allah, have we killed Muhammad? Umar said: By Allah, no, you have not. He is hearing your speech.[2] Umar preferred his opinion in answering Abu Sufyan to the order of the Prophet (s) when forbidding them from answering Abu Sufyan.

Spying although prohibited Allah has said: O you, who believe, avoid most of suspicion, for surely suspicion in some cases is a sin, and do not spy nor let some of you backbite others. Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? But you abhor it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful. Qur'an, 49:12 The Prophet (s) has said: Avoid suspicion! Suspicion is the falsest speech.

Do not spy on each other, do not hate each other, do not envy each other and do not desist each other. Be brothers But Umar, during his rule, found that spying brought benefits and goodness to the state. He patrolled at night and spied at day. One night, while he was patrolling in Medina, he heard a man singing in his house. He climbed the wall of the mans house. He found that there was a woman with him and a bottle of wine.

He said to the man: O enemy of Allah, have you thought that Allah protects you while you are disobeying Him? The man said: O Ameerul Momineen, do not hasten! If I have committed one sin, you have committed three sins; Allah has said: (do not spy) but you have spied, and He has said: (and go into the houses by their doors) but you have climbed the wall and He has said: (when you enter houses, greet each other) but you have not greeted us. Umar said: Would you do me good if I forgive you?

The man said: Yes, I would. Then Umar [1] Ibn Jareers Tareekh, Ibnul Atheers Tareekh, Ibn Sads Tabaqat, al-Halabis Seera, ad-Dahlanis Seera, al-Bidayeh wen-Nihayeh by Abul Fida and all the books of history that have recorded the events of the battle of Uhud.

[2] As if the Prophet (s) was not safe from Abu Sufyan and his men to attack him if they knew that he was still alive; therefore he ordered his companions not to answer Abu Sufyan and as if Umar, when answering Abu Sufyan, was not afraid and did not think that the caution of the Prophet (s) was justifiable! forgave him and went out.[1] As-Sadiy said: One night Umar went out with Abdullah bin Massood. He saw a light of fire.
