"عَن ثورٍ الكِنْدى: أن عمر بن الخطاب كان يَعُسُّ بِالمَدِينَةِ منَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ رَجُلٍ فِى بَيْتٍ يَتَغَنَى، فَتَسَوَّرَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُ امْرَأةً وعِنْدَهُ خَمْرٌ: فَقَالَ: يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّه: وَاللَّه أَظَنَنْتَ أَنَّ اللَّه يَسْتُرُكَ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِهِ؟ فَقَالَ: وَأَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمنِينَ لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَى؛ إِنَّ أَكُنْ عَصَيْتُ اللَّه وَاحِدَةً فَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ اللَّه في ثَلَاثٍ، قَالَ {وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا} فَقَدْ تَجَسَّسْتَ، وَقَالَ: {وَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا} وَقَدْ تَسَوَرْتَ عَلَىَّ، وَدَخَلتَ عَلَىَّ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ، وَقَالَ: {لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا} قَالَ عُمَرُ: فَهَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ خَيْر إِنْ عَفَوَتُ عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَعَفَا عَنْهُ وَخَرَجَ وَتَركَهُ".

"Thawr al-Kindi narrated that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab used to patrol Madinah at night. He heard the voice of a man singing in a house, so he climbed over the wall and found with him a woman and wine. He said: 'O enemy of Allah! By Allah, did you think that Allah would conceal you while you are disobeying Him?' The man said: 'And you, O Commander of the Faithful, do not hasten against me. If I have disobeyed Allah in one matter, you have disobeyed Allah in three. He said {And do not spy}, and you have spied. He said {And enter houses by their doors}, and you have climbed over me, and you entered upon me without permission. He said {Do not enter houses other than your own until you have asked permission and greeted their occupants}.' 'Umar said: 'Do you have any good to offer, if I pardon you?' He said: 'Yes.' So he pardoned him, and he went out and left him."
