Innocent Until Proven Guilty
It was narrated that ‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Aamir said:
I set out with a caravan and when we came to Dhu Al-Marwah, a cloak of mine was stolen, and one of those people (from Dhu Al-Marwah) was with us.
My companions said to him, “O So and so, give him back his cloak.”
He said, “I did not take it.”
So I went to ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab and told him about it.
He asked, “Who was there?”
I told him who they were and I named the one I thought took it and i said, “IO wanted to bring him in chains.”
‘Umar responded, “How could you bring him in chains without any proof!?”
