"عَنْ المسور بن مَخْرمة، عن عبد الرحمن بن عوف أنه حَرس مع عمر ابن الخطاب ليلةً المدينة، فبينا هم يمشون شبَّ لهم سراجٌ في بيت فانطلقوا يؤمُّونه، فلما دنوا منه إذا بابٌ مجافٌ على قومٍ، لهم فيه أصوات مرتفعة ولغطٌ، فقال عمر - وأخذَ بيد عبد الرحمن بن عوف: أتدرى بيْتَ من هذا؟ قال: هذا بيتُ ربيعة بن أُمية بن خلف، وهم الآن شِرْبٌ فما ترى؟ قال: أرى أن قد أتينا ما نهى اللَّه عنه، قال اللَّه تعالى: {وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا} فقد تجسسنا، فانصرفَ عمر عنهم وتركهم".

"Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah narrated from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf that he kept watch with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab one night in Madinah. While they were walking, a lamp appeared to them in a house, so they set off heading for it. When they drew near, they found a door ajar onto a people who had loud voices and noisy talk. 'Umar said, taking the hand of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf: 'Do you know whose house this is?' He said: 'This is the house of Rabi'ah ibn Umayyah ibn Khalaf, and they are now drinking. What do you think?' He said: 'I think we have come to what Allah has forbidden. Allah the Exalted said: {And do not spy}, and we have spied.' So 'Umar turned away from them and left them."
