"عَن ابْنِ سِيرِين قَالَ: بَلَغَ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُصُّ بِالْبَصْرَةِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ {الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ: نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَة، فَعَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ مَا أَرَادَ، فَتَرَكَهُ".

"Ibn Sirin said: It reached 'Umar that a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was telling stories in Basra. He wrote to him: {Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Clear Book. We relate to you the best of stories} up to the end of the verse. The man understood what he meant, so he left it."
