It is narrated from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Qari that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the direction of Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), that is, from Yemen. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him about the condition of the people there, and he described it. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you know of any unusual thing? The man replied: Yes, a person became a disbeliever after accepting Islam. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What did you do with him? The man replied: We seized him and struck his neck. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You should have imprisoned him for three days and given him bread each day, then made him repent, perhaps he would have repented and then accepted Allah’s command. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Allah! I was not present there at that time, nor did I order it, nor was I pleased when I came to know about it.
