باب قَوْلِ عُمَرَ في الْجَدِّ:Chapter on Umar's opinion regarding the grandfather
Hadith 2950
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ لَمَّا طُعِنَ، اسْتَشَارَهُمْ فِي الْجَدِّ، فَقَالَ: "إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْجَدِّ رَأْيًا، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعُوهُ، فَاتَّبِعُوهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: إِنْ نَتَّبِعْ رَأْيَكَ فَإِنَّهُ رَشَدٌ، وَإِنْ نَتَّبِعْ رَأْيَ الشَّيْخِ، فَنِعْمَ ذُو الرَّأْيِ كَانَ.
It is narrated from Marwan bin Al-Hakam that when Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was wounded by a spear, he consulted the companions regarding the grandfather, and said: "I had an opinion regarding the grandfather; if you wish, you may follow it." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If we follow your opinion, it is a path of guidance, and if we accept the opinion of the Shaykh (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him), he too was a man of very good opinion."
