بَابُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ كِتْمَانَ السِّرِّ، وَأَنْ يُجَالِسَ كُلَّ قَوْمٍ فَيَعْرِفَ أَخْلاَقَهُمْChapter: Loving to Conceal Secrets and Mixing With All to Learn Their Manners
Hadith 582
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَرَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ كَانَا جَالِسَيْنِ، فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْقَارِيِّ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّا لاَ نُحِبُّ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ حَدِيثَنَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: لَسْتُ أُجَالِسُ أُولَئِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: بَلَى، فَجَالِسْ هَذَا وَهَذَا، وَلاَ تَرْفَعْ حَدِيثَنَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلأَنْصَارِيِّ: مَنْ تَرَى النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ يَكُونُ الْخَلِيفَةَ بَعْدِي؟ فَعَدَّدَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ رِجَالاً مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، لَمْ يُسَمِّ عَلِيًّا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَأَحْرَاهُمْ، إِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ، أَنْ يُقِيمَهُمْ عَلَى طَرِيقَةٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ.
Abdullah bin Abdur Rahman bin Abdul Qari (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and an Ansari were sitting when Abdur Rahman bin Abdul Qari came and sat with them. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We do not like the person who carries our words here and there. So Abdur Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: O Leader of the Believers! I do not sit with those people who do such things. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, indeed you are like that. Sit with us, but do not convey our words further. Then he said to the Ansari: What do you think, after me, about whom will people talk or consider to become the Caliph? The Ansari mentioned the names of several Muhajireen but did not mention Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What objection do they have against Abu al-Hasan? By Allah! He is the most deserving among them. If he becomes their leader, he will keep them steadfast on the path of truth.
