—then the required number [of four] would be complete (1), and al-Mughīra would have to be stoned (2). Umar therefore did not administer the prescribed punishment to Abū Bakra (3). This proves that Ali approved of their being punished the first time (4), but not of a second punishment. Otherwise, he would have objected to their first punishment just as he objected to the second.

Even men of lesser standing than Ali would challenge Umar and cite the Quran and sunnah as evidence against him, whereupon Umar would accept their view; for Umar would always stop at the limits set by the Book of Allah Most High.

Al-Bukhārī narrated from Ibn Abbas, who said (5): “Uyayna ibn Hisn came to [the son of] his brother (6), al-Hurr ibn Qays (7), who was among those (8) whom Umar kept close to him. The Quran reciters were members of Umar’s councils (9), whether they were mature men (10) or young men.

“Uyayna said to his nephew, ‘My nephew, you have some standing (11) with this ruler, so seek permission (12) for me to see him.’

(1) “Four” is absent from (N) and (M). (2) The phrase “and he must therefore be stoned” is absent from (M). (3) (N) and (M) read: “Umar did not flog him.” (4) (N) and (M) read: “This is evidence that Alī—may Allah be pleased with him—punished them the first time.” This is a textual corruption. (5) The hadith appears in two places in al-Bukhārī: vol. 6, p. 60, Book of Tafsīr, Surah al-A'rāf; and vol. 9, p. 94, Book of Adherence to the Quran and Sunnah, chapter “Following the Practices of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.” (6) “Son” is absent from (N). (7) Al-Bukhārī reads: “Uyayna ibn Hisn ibn Hudhayfa ibn Badr came and stayed with his nephew, al-Hurr ibn Qays ibn Hisn.” (8) (N) reads: “the one who.” (9) (H) and (B), as well as al-Bukhārī, vol. [0–9], read: “a council.” (10) Al-Bukhārī reads: “members of Umar’s council and those whom he consulted, whether they were mature men…” (11) Al-Bukhārī reads: “Do you have some standing?” (12) Al-Bukhārī, vol. [0–9], reads: “so that you may seek permission.”
