Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2169b
"عَن الشعبى أن عمر بن الخطاب فقد رجلا من أصحابه، فقال لابن عوف: انطلقْ بنا إلى منزل فلانٍ ننظر، فَأتَيَا منزله فوجدا بابه مفتوحًا وهو جالسٌ وامرأتُه تصب له في إناء فتناوله إياه، فقال عمر لابن عوف: هذا الذى شغله عنا؟ فقال ابن عوف لعمر: وما يدريك ما في الإناء؟ فقال رجل: أخاف أن يكون هذا التجسس، قال: بل هو التجسس، قال: وما التوبةُ من هذا؟ قال: لا تُعْلِمْهُ بما اطلعت عليه من أمره؛ ولا يكونن في نفسك إلا خَيْرٌ، ثم انصرفا".

"Al-Sha'bi narrated that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab missed a man from among his companions, so he said to Ibn 'Awf: 'Come with me to the house of so-and-so to look.' They came to his house and found its door open, and he was sitting while his wife was pouring for him into a vessel, and he took it from her. 'Umar said to Ibn 'Awf: 'Is this what has kept him from us?' Ibn 'Awf said to 'Umar: 'How do you know what is in the vessel?' A man said: 'I fear that this is spying.' He said: 'Indeed it is spying.' He said: 'And what is the repentance for this?' He said: 'Do not inform him of what you have looked into concerning his affair, and let nothing in your heart but good.' Then the two of them left."
