Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39853 — Reports on the caliphate of Umar bin

It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not single out any of the people of the Shura, except that he spoke in private with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), taking each of them apart from the other. He said: "O so-and-so! Fear Allah, and if Allah Almighty tests you with this matter, do not raise Banu so-and-so above the necks of the other people." And he said the same (likewise) to the other (of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Uthman).
