Umar ibn Khattab (r.a) asked Ubbay ibn Ka’ab (r.a), "What is the meaning of Tawqa?" Ubbay ibn Ka’ab said, "O Amir ul Mu’minin, have you walked on a field that had a lot of thorny plants?" Umar said, "Yes" Ubbay ibn Ka’ab said, "So what did you do?" Umar replied, "I lifted up my clothes and I was very careful," Ubbay ibn Ka’ab said, "That is Taqwa."
