Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) reports that Abu Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) had a stick in his hand with whose help he would walk, and he would often say: "By Allah, if I wished this stick of mine to speak, it would surely speak." He (may Allah have mercy on him) would say: "If Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) were a scale, there would not be a hair's breadth of injustice in it."
