عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : " اسْتَأْذَنَ
أَبُو مُوسَى عَلَى عُمَرَ فَكَأَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ مَشْغُولًا ، فَرَجَعَ ، فَقَال عُمَرُ : أَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ صَوْتَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ فَدُعِيَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّا كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ بِهَذَا ، قَالَ : فَأْتِنِي عَلَى هَذَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ أَوْ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ بِكَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالُوا : لَا يَشْهَدُ إِلَّا أَصَاغِرُنَا فَقَامَ
أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ بِهَذَا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ هَذَا مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلْهَانِي الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ " .
Narrated 'Ubai bin `Umar: Abu Musa asked permission to enter upon `Umar, but seeing that he was busy, he went away. `Umar then said, "Didn't I hear the voice of `Abdullah bin Qais? Allow him to come in." He was called in and `Umar said to him, "What made you do what you did." He replied, "We have been instructed thus by the Prophet" `Umar said, "Bring proof (witness) for this, other wise I will do so-and-so to you." Then `Abdullah bin Qais went to a gathering of the Ansar who then said, "None but the youngest of us will give the witness for it." So Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri got up and said, "We used to be instructed thus (by the Prophet)." `Umar said, "This tradition of the Prophet remained hidden from me. Business in the market kept me busy."
