"عن عروةَ بنِ الزبيرِ قال: شَرِبَ عبدُ اللَّه بنُ الأزورِ، وَضِرارُ بْن الخطابِ وأَبو جندل بن سهيلِ بن عمرو بالشام، فَأَتَى بِهِمْ أبو عبيدةَ بنُ الجراح، قال أَبو جَندلٍ: واللَّه مَا شَرِبْتُهَا إلَّا عَلَى تأويل، إنى سمعتُ اللَّه يقولُ: {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا إِذَا مَا اتَّقَوْا وَآمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ ()} فكتبَ أبو عبيدةَ إلى عمرَ بأَمْرِهم، فقال أبو الأزور: إنه قد حَضَرَ لَنَا عدونا فإِن رأيتَ أن تُؤخِّرَنَا إلى أن نلْقى عدُوَّنا غدًا، فإن أكرمنا اللَّه بالشَّهَادَةِ كَفَاكَ ذَاكَ، ولم تُقِمْنَا على جزَائِهِ، وإن نَرْجعْ نظرتَ إلى ما أمركَ بِه صاحبُكَ فأمضيتَهُ، قال أبو عبيدة: فَنَعَمْ، فلما التقَى النَّاسُ قُتِلَ أبو الأزورِ شهيدًا، فرجَع الكتابُ كتابُ عمرَ إِنَّ الَّذِى أوقَع أبا جندلٍ في الخَطِيئةِ قد تهيأ له فيها بالحجة، وإِذَا أتاكَ كتابى هذا فأقم عليهم حدَّهم، والسلامُ، فدعَا بهمَا أبو عبيدةَ فحدَّهُمَا، وأَبو جندلِ له شَرفٌ ولأبِيهِ، فكان يحدثُ نفسهُ حتى قيلَ: إنَّهُ قد وَسْوَسَ، فكتبَ أبو عبَيدةُ إلى عمرَ: أما بعدُ، فإنى قَدْ ضربتُ أبَا جندلٍ وإِنَّهُ قد حدَّثَ نفسَه حتى قد خشِينَا عليهِ أنهُ قد هَلَكَ، فكتبَ عمرُ إلى أَبى جندلٍ: أما بعدُ فإِنَّ الذِى أوقعكَ في الخطيئَةِ قَد جَرَتْ عَلَيْك التوبةُ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ {حم (1) تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ (2) غَافِرِ الذَّنْبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِى الطَّوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ} فلما قرأ كتابَ عمرَ ذهبَ عنهُ ما كَانَ بِه كأنَّمَا نَشطَ من عقالٍ".

"'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr said: 'Abdullah ibn al-Azwar, Dirar ibn al-Khattab, and Abu Jandal ibn Suhayl ibn 'Amr drank wine in Syria, and Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah brought them. Abu Jandal said: By Allah, I only drank it under an interpretation. I heard Allah say: {There is no blame upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten when they fear Allah and believe and do righteous deeds ()}. Abu 'Ubaydah wrote to 'Umar about their matter. Abu al-Azwar said: Our enemy has drawn near to us, so if you see fit to delay us until we meet our enemy tomorrow, then if Allah honors us with martyrdom, that will suffice you and you will not need to establish the punishment upon us. And if we return, you may consider what your companion has commanded you and carry it out. Abu 'Ubaydah said: Yes. When the people met, Abu al-Azwar was killed as a martyr. The letter came back from 'Umar: The one who led Abu Jandal into the sin has been prepared for it by the argument. When my letter reaches you, establish their punishment upon them. Peace. So Abu 'Ubaydah summoned them and punished them. Abu Jandal had nobility and standing for himself and his father, and he kept dwelling on it in his mind until it was said that he had become deranged. Abu 'Ubaydah wrote to 'Umar: To proceed, I have struck Abu Jandal, and he has dwelt on it in his mind until we feared that he had perished. 'Umar wrote to Abu Jandal: To proceed, the one who led you into the sin has been followed by repentance: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful. {Ha Mim. The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing. Forgiver of sin and Acceptor of repentance, Severe in penalty, Owner of bounty. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination} (). When Abu Jandal read the letter of 'Umar, what he had been suffering from left him as if he had been released from a bond."
