It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once said: Allah Almighty sent the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth; He revealed the Book to him, in which there was also the verse of stoning, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also carried out stoning, and we also carried out stoning. Then he said that we used to read this command as well: "Do not show aversion to your forefathers, for this is disbelief on your part." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not exaggerate about me as was exaggerated about Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him); I am only a servant, so say: He is Allah’s servant and His Messenger."
