I did not refer to the Messenger of Allah...

I did not refer to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, concerning anything as I referred to him concerning kalalah **. And he was never as harsh to me concerning anything as he was harsh to me about it**, so much that he struck my chest with his fingers and said, “ O ‘Umar, is the Verse of the Summer **, which is at the end of** Surat al-Nisa **, not sufficient for you?**” If I (‘Umar) lived longer, I would give judge concerning it (i.e.

kalalah ) with a judgment that would be the precedent for all future judgments concerning it by those who could read the Qur’an and those who could not read the Qur’an.”[^11] Imam Ahmad again documents: حدثنا عبد الله حدثني أبي ثنا إسماعيل عن سعيد بن أبي عروبة عن قتادة عن سالم بن أبي الجعد عن معدان بن أبي طلحة
