Sulayman bin Yasar said: A man whose name was Sabigh came to Madinah and began asking about the mutashabihat (ambiguous) verses of the Qur'an. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called for palm branches and summoned him. He asked, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Allah's servant, Sabigh." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) picked up one of those branches and said, "I am Allah's servant, Umar," and began to beat him, until his head was covered in blood. Then he said, "Enough, O Commander of the Faithful, the doubts that had entered my mind have now gone."
