As-Sā'ib ibn Yazīd (may Allah be pleased with him) reports an incident that he witnessed. Two men were speaking loudly in the Prophet's Mosque during ‘Umar’s caliphate. On hearing them, ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) threw a pebble at As-Sā'ib ibn Yazīd to bring him those two men. As-Sā'ib brought them to ‘Umar who asked them where they were from. They told him that they were from Taif, so he told them that if they had been from the inhabitants of Madīnah, he would have given them a painful beating as a punishment for raising their voices in the Prophet's Mosque. Since they were not from Madīnah, ‘Umar excused them for their ignorance, because most probably they were unfamiliar with the rulings of Shariah.
