Omar's Justic
Amr Ibn Al-As supervised a horse race hn Egypt where a mare owned by a Copt came first. A son of Amr did not want to admit that. He claimed that it was his horse that was the winner. The Egyptian protested and cried demanding his right. Amr's son whipped the Egyptian on his face and said " take it from me ، I am who is the son of the noblest ones " Fearing a public disgrace ، Amr sent the Egyptian into prison because he feared that the former could tell othe people about the incident. The Egyptian، however، escaped and headed to Al-Madina. When Omar Ibn Al- Khattab knew of the story ، he became very angry that he wrote : " from the servant of God، Omar Ibn Al-Khattab، the Commander of the Faithful ، to the defian Amr Ibn Al-As. A serious matter had come up. Come to me with your son promptly and without delay"
Amr and his son rode، heedless of nothing، till they arrived in Al- Madina. Here ، Omar gave a pole to the Egyptian and said to hin " hit the sone of the nobles ones،" The Egyptian hit Amr's son till he satisfied his anger . Then Omar asked :" Are you satisfied؟‎ turn the stick to Amr's head because ، by Allah، his son had only struck you because of his father's rank. O Amr، how come you enslave humans who are born as free as you are!
