Umar use to beat up people without any reason

Ibne Asakir has narrated from Akrama bin Khalid that: “A son of Umar bin Khattab dressed up in nice garments and went to see Umar. When Umar noticed this, he suddenly began to lash him with whip or a stick and he started weeping.

Hafasa asked: Why are you beating him Father?

Umar replied: I saw that he had become conceited, so I wanted to degrade his self.”

Taareekhul Kholafa, 96 [Pg. 133]
