4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn Yazid from abu Mu‘alla’, who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that once a woman was brought before ‘Umar. She was attached to a man of al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah) and loved him but was not able to achieve from him what she wanted. She plotted to use the white part of the egg, after removing the yolk, poured it on her cloth between her thighs and came to ‘Umar saying, ‘O ’Amir al-Mu’minin, this man in such and such place caught, raped and disgraced me. 5 ‘Umar then intended to subject al-Ansari to applicable penalty, but he (the accused) was swearing and denying the accusation, when ’Amir al- Mu’minin, Ali , was also present, saying, ‘O ’Amir al-Mu’minin, why are you quiet in my case?’ When the man pleaded a great deal ‘Umar then said to ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali , ‘O abu al-Hassan, what do you say about him? 5 ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali , looked at the white substance on her cloth between her thighs and he (the Imam) charged her with plotting a trick. He (the Imam) asked to bring water in boiling condition. When water in boiling condition was brought, he (the Imam) asked them to pour it on the white substance, which turned into a cooked shape. ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali , picked up (a part) thereof, placed in his mouth and after recognizing the test, threw it out and then turned to the women until she confessed. Thus Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, saved the man of al-Ansar from penalty of ‘Umar.’”
