أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرُوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ الْقُرَشِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، ثنا سَيَّارٌ، ثنا الشَّعْبِيُّ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَبَيْنَ أُبِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا تَدَارٍ فِي شَيْءٍ، وَادَّعَى أُبَيٌّ عَلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ، فَجَعَلَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، فَأَتَيَاهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: أَتَيْنَاكَ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَنَا، وَفِي بَيْتِهِ يُؤْتَى الْحَكَمُ، فَوَسَّعَ لَهُ زَيْدٌ عَنْ صَدْرِ ⦗٢٣٠⦘ فِرَاشِهِ، فَقَالَ: " هَهُنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: لَقَدْ جُرْتَ فِي الْفُتْيَا، وَلَكِنْ أَجْلِسُ مَعَ خَصْمِي، فَجَلَسَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَادَّعَى أُبَيٌّ وَأَنْكَرَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ لِأُبَيٍّ: أَعْفِ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الْيَمِينِ، وَمَا كُنْتُ لِأَسْأَلَهَا لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِ، فَحَلَفَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْسَمَ: لَا يُدْرِكُ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْقَضَاءَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عُمَرُ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ عُرْضِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عِنْدَهُ سَوَاءً ".
Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: There was a dispute over something between Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) made a claim against Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he denied it. The two of them took their dispute to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) at his house. When they entered upon him, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We have come to you so that you may judge between us, and the judge is to be come to in his own house. Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) made room for him at the head of his bedding and said: O Commander of the Believers! Sit here. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have been unjust in your very first ruling; rather, I will sit with my opponent. So they sat before him. Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) made his claim and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) denied it. Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him): Excuse the Commander of the Believers from the oath; I would not ask this for anyone other than him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took the oath, and then he swore: Zayd bin Thabit will not attain (true) judgeship until Umar and an ordinary man of the Muslims are equal in his sight.
