Hadith 15382

(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الْأَحْدَبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ , قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، فَقَالَ : " جَلَسَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فِي مَجْلِسَكَ هَذَا ، فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ صَفْرَاءَ ، وَلَا بَيْضَاءَ ، إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ ، قَدْ سَبَقَكَ صَاحِبَاكَ لَمْ يَفْعَلَا ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : هُمَا الْمَرْءَانِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا " .
Abu Wa'il says that once I was sitting with Sayyiduna Shaybah bin Uthman when he said: Once Sayyiduna Umar was sitting in your place and he said: I wish that I do not leave any gold or silver in the Ka'bah, but distribute everything among the people. I said to him: You cannot do this because two of your companions have passed before you and they did not do this. Sayyiduna Umar said: They were indeed the two men who should be followed.
