[Machine] "Omar, why did you not imprison him for three days and feed him a loaf of bread every day, and then ask him to repent or consult with Allah? O Allah, I did not witness, command, or consent to it when it reached me." Al-Shafi'i said in his book, "Whoever claims that the hadith narrated from Omar, 'If you had imprisoned him for three days, it would not be strong,' is not reliable because it is not known to be connected. Even if it is considered reliable, it did not impose any punishment on the person who killed him before three days." Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said that another hadith narrated from Omar about showing patience in this matter with a continuous chain of narration.  

عُمَرُ ؓ فَهَلَّا حَبَسْتُمُوهُ ثَلَاثًا وَأَطْعَمْتُمُوهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ رَغِيفًا وَاسْتَتَبْتُمُوهُ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ أَوْ يُرَاجِعَ أَمْرَ اللهِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي لَمْ أَحْضُرْ وَلَمْ آمُرْ وَلَمْ أَرْضَ إِذْ بَلَغَنِي قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا يُتَأَنَّى بِهِ زَعَمَ أَنَّ الْحَدِيثَ الَّذِي رُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ لَوْ حَبَسْتُمُوهُ ثَلَاثًا لَيْسَ بِثَابِتٍ؛ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُعْلَمُ مُتَّصِلًا وَإِنْ كَانَ ثَابِتًا كَانَ لَمْ يُجْعَلْ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُ قَبْلَ ثَلَاثٍ شَيْئًا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ قَدْ رُوِيَ فِي التَّأَنِّي بِهِ حَدِيثٌ آخَرُ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ بِإِسْنَادٍ مُتَّصِلٍ
