أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْجُرْجَانِيُّ إِمْلَاءً، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبُوعَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءُ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أنبأ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عِيَاضًا الْأَشْعَرِيَّ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، وَمَعَهُ كَاتَبٌ نَصْرَانِيُّ، فَأَعْجَبَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مَا رَأَى مِنْ حِفْظِهِ، فَقَالَ: " قُلْ لِكَاتِبِكَ يَقْرَأْ لَنَا كِتَابًا "، قَالَ: إِنَّهُ نَصْرَانِيٌّ، لَا يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَانْتَهَرَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَهَمَّ بِهِ، وَقَالَ: " لَا تُكْرِمُوهُمْ إِذْ أَهَانَهُمُ اللهُ، وَلَا تُدْنُوهُمْ إِذْ أَقْصَاهُمُ اللهُ، وَلَا تَأْتَمِنُوهُمْ إِذْ خَوَّنَهُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ".
Iyad al-Ash'ari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) came with a delegation to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and with him was a Christian scribe. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was greatly impressed when he saw his memory. He said: Tell your scribe to read us a letter. Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He is a Christian; he does not enter the mosque. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) rebuked him and was about to punish him, and said: Do not honour them when Allah has humiliated them, do not bring them near when Allah has kept them distant, and do not trust them when Allah has declared them untrustworthy.
