On the authority of Saa’ib bin Yazeed who narrated:
I was sleeping in the (Prophet’s) Masjid when a
man woke me up abruptly. When I awoke, I saw ‘Umar bin al-Khattaab who said, “Go
and bring those two men to me.” When I summoned them both to ‘Umar, he asked
them both, “Where are you from?” They replied, “From Taif.” ‘Umar said, “Had
you both been from the people of al-Madeenah, I would have punished you both.
Do you raise your voices in the Masjid of the Prophet – Peace and Blessings of
Allaah be upon him?”
[Reported by Miskhaat
al-Maasbeeh (744); its origin is in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (470)]
Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-‘Uthaymeen [may Allaah have Mercy
on him] said in explanation:
Here we have at least two lessons:
Firstly, One cannot have a ruling placed on him until the
situation is clarified and (if he has made a mistake) until the proof is
established upon him. This is because ignorance is an excuse.
Secondly, not all mistakes are of the same level. Some are far
worse than others.
[Sharh Miskhaat al-Masaabeeh; Tape 14, 2-3mins]
