English

[2449] 142 – (1063) It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah in A]- Ji'rranâh, when he was on his way back from Uunain. In the cloak of Bilâl there was some silver and the Messenger of Allah was giving handfuls of it to the people. He said: '0 Muhammad, be fair!' He said: 'Woe to you! Who will be fair if I am not fair? I will be doomed and lost if I am not fair.' 'Umar bin A1-Khattâb (may Allah he pleased with him) said: '0 Messenger of Allah, let me kill this hypocrite!' He said: 'Allah forbid that the people should say that I kill my Companions. This man and his like read the Qur'ân, but it does not go any further than their throats, and they pass through it like an arrow passing through the prey."
