Historical Account
hither! Control yourself. Do not allow for your grip to loosen from the rope of Allāh’s Messenger. By God, this man, in whose hand we have given our own is without a doubt, truthful.” Ḥaḍrat ‘Umarra said that at the time because of his emotion he said such things, but later he felt exceedingly repentant. Moreover, in order to wash away the effects of this weakness as a form of repentance, he performed many voluntary acts as an expiation. In other words, he gave charity, fasted, offered voluntary Ṣalāt and even freed numerous slaves, so that this blemish of weakness could be cleansed.”
