There was also a relationship of respect and kinship between the two. Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) listened silently.

After that, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I have been informed that Abdullah bin Ubayy was mentioned before you, and you showed no reaction?" Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "I heard what he said, but when I saw that he deliberately wanted to find fault with me, I thought it inappropriate to help him in finding fault with myself."

And I am leaving two things among you, as long as you hold firmly to both, you will remain in goodness: first, to be just in judgment, and second, to be just in distribution. And I am leaving you on a path as broad and gentle as the paths of grazing animals, except that if any nation itself becomes crooked, then they will be made crooked."
