أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَا هُوَ يَسِيرُ مَعَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ وَمَعَهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ فَتَرَنَّمَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِبَيْتٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ عِرَاقِيٌّ غَيْرُهُ: غَيْرُكَ فَلْيَقُلْهَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاسْتَحْيَا عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَضَرَبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ حَتَّى انْقَطَعَتْ مِنَ الْمَوْكِبِ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that once he was travelling with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the road to Makkah during his caliphate, and the Muhajirun and the Ansar were also with them. He recited a line of poetry in a melodious voice, and a man from Iraq said (there was no other Iraqi with them at that time): O Commander of the Believers! Let someone other than you say it. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) felt shy about that, and he urged his mount on until it was separated from the caravan.
