أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أنبأ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ عُمَرَ وَأُبَيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا خُصُومَةٌ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " اجْعَلْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ رَجُلًا "، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: فَأَتَوْهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " أَتَيْنَاكَ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَنَا، وَفِي بَيْتِهِ يُؤْتَى الْحَكَمُ "، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ أَجْلَسَهُ مَعَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِ فِرَاشِهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: هَذَا أَوَّلُ جَوْرٍ جُرْتَ فِي حُكْمِكَ، أَجْلِسْنِي وَخَصْمِي مَجْلِسًا "، قَالَ: فَقَصَّا عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ لِأُبَيٍّ: الْيَمِينُ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَعْفَيْتَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَقْسَمَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ أَقْسَمَ لَهُ: " لَا تُدْرِكْ بَابَ الْقَضَاءِ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ لِي عِنْدَكَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَضِيلَةٌ ".
Sayyar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) say that there was a dispute between Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Appoint a man as arbiter (between us)." So they appointed Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) as arbiter. The narrator said: They came to him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We have come to you so that you may judge between us, and the arbiter is come to in his own house." When they entered upon him, he seated Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on his bed. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is the first injustice you have committed in your judgement; seat me and my opponent in the same place." The narrator said: They related the matter to him, and Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him): "The oath is upon the Commander of the Faithful, but if you wish, you may excuse him." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took the oath. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him): "You will not be fit to be a judge until I and an ordinary man are equal in your eyes."
