Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8771 — Two men disagreed about a verse. While we

Zayd bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Two men disagreed about a verse. While we were in that state, Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) appeared, coming from the direction of his in-laws. The two of them stood up to go to him, and I stood up with them. They said: "We have disagreed about a verse." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to one of them: "Recite," so he recited. He said: "Who taught you to recite it?" He said: "Abu Amrah Ma'qil bin Muqarrin." Then he said to the other: "Recite," so he recited. He said: "Who taught you to recite it?" He said: "Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then tears flowed from both his eyes, and he wept so much that I saw him take his tears in his palm and cast them on the ground like this, and I saw two marks in the pebbles from the tears of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I think that any household of the Muslims that was not touched by grief for Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day he was martyred can only be an evil household. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was the most knowledgeable of us about Allah, the best reciter of the Book of Allah among us, and the one with the deepest understanding of the religion of Allah. Recite it as Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) taught you. By Allah, it is clearer than the road of al-Saylahin."
