أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الدَّارِيِّ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: " قَدِمَ ⦗٣٣٦⦘ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَ دَارَ النَّدْوَةِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْرِبَ مِنْهَا الرَّوَاحَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَلْقَى رِدَاءَهُ عَلَى وَاقِفٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ طَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَمَامِ فَأَطَارَهُ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ فَانْتَهَزَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْجُمُعَةَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَا وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فَقَالَ: احْكُمَا عَلَيَّ فِي شَيْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ الْيَوْمَ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ هَذِهِ الدَّارَ، وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْتَقْرِبَ مِنْهَا الرَّوَاحَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَلْقَيْتُ رِدَائِي عَلَى هَذَا الْوَاقِفِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ طَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَمَامِ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يُلَطِّخَهُ بِسَلْحِهِ فَأَطَرْتُهُ عَنْهُ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَاقِفِ الْآخَرِ فَانْتَهَزَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَوَجَدْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أَنِّي أَطَرْتُهُ مِنْ مَنْزِلَةٍ كَانَ فِيهَا آمِنًا إِلَى مَوْقِعَةٍ كَانَ فِيهَا حَتْفُهُ، فَقُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي عَنْزٍ ثَنِيَّةٍ عَفْرَاءَ نَحْكُمُ بِهَا عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟، قَالَ: أَرَى ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ".
Nafi' bin Abd al-Harith said: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Makkah and entered Dar al-Nadwah on a Friday, wanting to set off from there to the Mosque, as it was close by. He threw his cloak over a peg in the house, and one of these pigeons landed on it. He shooed it away, and it landed (on another peg), and a snake seized it and killed it. When he had prayed the Friday prayer, Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and I went in to him, and he said: "Judge me concerning something I did today. I entered this house, wanting to set off from it to the Mosque since it is close, and I threw my cloak over this peg. One of these pigeons landed on it, and I feared it would soil it with its droppings, so I shooed it off. It landed on this other peg, and a snake seized it and killed it. I felt within myself that I had driven it from a place where it was safe to a spot where its death lay." So I said to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him): "What do you think of a two-year-old, whitish she-goat, which we impose as a ruling on the Commander of the Believers?" He said: "I think so." So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered it.
