The father of Qasim narrates that a man was brought to Abdullah bin Mas’ud who had been found with a woman under a single garment. So he (Abdullah bin Mas’ud) gave both of them forty lashes each. The narrator says: Then those people went to Umar to seek help against Abdullah. Umar met Abdullah bin Mas’ud and said: Some people are seeking help against you in this matter. So he informed them of the incident. Upon hearing this, Umar said to Abdullah: Is this your opinion in this matter? He replied: Yes. The people said: We came to seek help from him, but he himself is asking him for a fatwa.
