"عن محمد بن المنتشرِ قال: قال رجلٌ لعمرَ بن الخطاب: إنى لأعرفُ أشدَّ آية في كتاب اللَّهِ: فأهوى عمرُ فضرَبه بالدِّرةِ وقال: ما لك نَقَّبْتَ عنها حتى عَلِمْتَهَا؟ فانصرفتُ حتى كان الغدُ فقال له عمرُ: الآية التى ذكرتَ بالأمس، فقال: {مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ ()} فما منَّا أحدٌ يعمل سوءًا إلا جُزى به، فقال عمر: لَبِثْنا حين نزلتْ ما ينفعُنا طعامٌ ولا شرابٌ حتى أنزلَ اللَّهُ بعد ذلك وَرَخَّصَ وقال: {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا ( )} ".

"On the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Muntashir, who said: A man said to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: I know the most severe verse in the Book of Allah. 'Umar lunged and struck him with the whip and said: What is wrong with you, did you search for it until you knew it? The man left until the next day. 'Umar said to him: The verse you mentioned yesterday. He said: {Whoever does evil will be recompensed for it ()}; none of us does evil but is recompensed for it. 'Umar said: We remained, when it was revealed, unable to benefit from food or drink, until Allah revealed afterward and granted leave, saying: {And whoever does evil or wrongs himself and then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful ( )}."
