"عَن عبد الرحمنِ بْنِ عبدِ القارِى قال: قَدم على عمرَ بْنِ الْخطَّابِ رَجلٌ من قبلِ أَبى موسى، فَسَأَلَهُ عن النَّاسِ، فأخبرهُ، ثم قال: هَلْ كَان فيكمْ مِنْ مُغْرِبَةِ خَبرٍ؟ قال: نعم، رجلٌ كفر بَعْد إسْلَامِه، قال: فما فعلتم به؟ قال: قَرَّبْنَاهُ فضربنا عُنُقَهُ، قال عمر: فَهلَّا حَبَسْتُموهُ ثلاثًا وأطعمتموه كلَّ يومٍ رغيفًا، واسْتَقيْتُموهُ لَعَلَّهُ يتوبُ ويراجع أَمْر اللَّه، اللهم إِنِّى لَمْ أَحْضُرْ، وَلَمْ آمُرْ ولم أَرْضَ إذْ بَلَغَنِى".

On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abd al-Qari, who said: A man from the side of Abu Musa came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and he asked him about the people, and he informed him. Then he said, "Was there among you any news of a deviation?" He said, "Yes, a man who disbelieved after his Islam." He said, "What did you do with him?" He said, "We brought him near and struck his neck." 'Umar said, "Why did you not imprison him for three days, feed him a loaf every day, and ask him to repent, that perhaps he would repent and return to the command of Allah? O Allah, I was not present, I did not order it, and I was not pleased when it reached me."
