[Machine] It was reported that Umar was presented with a young boy who had beautiful long hair. They said, "Look at him, it seems that he has applied henna to his hair." But they found that his hair was naturally beautiful, so Umar dismissed their assumption. Abu Ubaid, may Allah have mercy on him, narrated this from Uthman. Abu Ubaid said that the expression "ibtahara" means that he threw the suspicion from himself and said, "I did it as a lie." If he actually did it, then it is called "ibtidaar".
أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ رُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ غُلَامٌ ابْتَهَرَ جَارِيَةً فِي شِعْرِهِ فَقَالُوا انْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ أَنْبَتَ فَدَرَأَ عَنْهُ الْحَدَّ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ ؓ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ قَوْلُهُ ابْتَهَرَ الِابْتِهَارُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَهَا بِنَفْسِهِ يَقُولُ فَعَلْتُ بِهَا كَاذِبًا فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ فَعَلَ فَهُوَ الِابْتِيَارُ
