In spite of all the continuous steps and the collaborating measures, some of the grand Sahabah, indifferent to the ruling authorities' opinions and trends, did not stop reporting and recording the Hadith. Nevertheless, `Umar ibn al-KHATTAB did not assume an indifferent attitude towards this; rather he issued strict decisions preventing unfalteringly any process of reporting and recording the Hadith. He furthermore addressed to the Sahabah, preventing them from reporting the Hadith, saying, "Certainly, your talks are the most evil talks and your words and the most evil words. Anyone of you who intends to say something must quote from the Book of Allah (i.e. the Holy QUR'AN) otherwise he must sit motionless."(1)
Very often, `Umar threatened the reporters of the Holy Prophet's heritage. Previously in this book, `Umar ibn al-KHATTAB's situations against and menacing words to `Ammar ibn Yasir, Abu-Musa al-Ash`ariy, and many others have been cited.
As a consummative step, `Umar detained the Sahabah who used to report the Hadith in the holy city of al-Madinah, the capital of the Islamic State, so that they would be always under his supervision and sight and also they would not disperse Hadiths violating his personal opinions. In this regard, historians have written down that `Umar ibn al-KHATTAB arrested some of the Holy Prophet's companions... etc. Other narrations have quoted `Abd al-Rahman ibn `Awf as saying, "Before his death, `Umar ibn al-KHATTAB ordered the companions of the Messenger of Allah, namely `Abdullah (ibn Mas`ud), Hudhayfah, Abu'l-Darda', Abu-Dharr and `Uqbah ibn `amir, to be present before him although they lived in remote countries. He then reproached them for having spread the traditions of the Messenger of Allah in these countries.
"Are you now preventing us from sucha" asked they.
"No, I do not," answered `Umar. "Yet, you will reside here, and you will never depart me so long as I am alive. I am more knowledgeable. I will hear from you and reply."
Hence, they could not leave the capital until the death of `Umar.(2)
