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]
