Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32714 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٧١٤ - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الأسدي قال: أخبرنا يحيى بن المهلب أبو (كدينة) (١) عن الأعمش قال: ذكروا عند ابن عمر الخلفاء، وحب الناس تغييرهم فقال ابن عمر: لو ولي الناس صاحب هذه السارية ما رضوا به -يعني عبد الملك ابن مروان (٢).
It is narrated from al-A'mash that people mentioned the caliphs before Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said that people like to see them changed. At this Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Even if the man of this pillar became the ruler of the people, they would not be pleased with him," meaning Abd al-Malik bin Marwan.
