So one of them fled and the other one was seized. So they came with him to Umar. So he said to the people, ‘What are you opining?’ So this one said, ‘Do this’, and this one said, ‘Do this’. So he said, ‘What are you^asws saying, O Abu Al Hassan^asws!’ He^asws said: ‘Strike his neck off’. So he had his neck struck off’. He^asws said: ‘Then he intended that he be carried away, so he^asws said: ‘Wait! There still remains something outstanding from his Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>)’. He^asws said: ‘Call for the firewood!’ He^asws said: ‘So Umar called for the firewood, and Amir Al-Momineen^asws ordered for him to be incinerated by it’.
