Hadith 15383

(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ , قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ , فَقَالَ : " جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَجْلِسَكَ هَذَا ، فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ فِيهَا صَفْرَاءَ ، وَلَا بَيْضَاءَ ، إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ ، قَالَ : لِمَ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ صَاحِبَاكَ ، قَالَ : 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, I distribute everything among the people. I said to him: You cannot do this because before you, your two companions have passed away and they did not do this. Sayyiduna Umar said: They were indeed the two men who could be followed.
