“HE SLAPPED ME ON THE EYE.” Once when ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab was circumambulating the Ka’bah, and ‘Ali was circumambulating with him, a man came to ‘Umar and said: “O Amir al-Mu’mineen, settle the score for me with ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib.” He said: “What is the issue?’ He said: “He slapped me on the eye.” ‘Umar stopped and waited until ‘Ali caught up with him, then he said: “Did you slap this man on the eye, O Abul-Hasan?” He said: “Yes, O Amir Al-Mu’mineen.” He said: “Why?” He said: “Because I saw him staring at Muslim women during tawaaf.” ‘Umar said: “Well done, 0 Abul-Hasan!” [The Biography Of Ali Ibn Abi Taalib, His Life And Times, By Ali Muhammad As-Sallaabee, p.532]
