Ignorance of Umar about divorce of slave girl

Hafiz Darqutni and Hafiz Ibne Asakir3 have narrated that:

“Two men came to Umar and inquired about the divorce of slave girl.

Umar arose from there till he came to the Masjid, where a man, bald from the front was present.

Umar asked: O bald one, what is your opinion regarding divorce of slave maid?

He raised his head and gestured with his index and middle finger. So, he told those two men: Two divorces.

One of them remarked: Great! We came to you as you were chief of believers; but you brought us to a man and asked him and were satisfied with his gesture…till the end.”

(Barguzida Jaame’ Al-Ghadeer, Muhammad Hasan Shafei Shahroodi, Pg. 206)
