Ahadith of Shaybah ibn Uthman al-Hajji (may Allah be pleased with him)

شَيْبَةُ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْحَجَبيُّ (١) (٢)، ١٥٣٨٢ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الْأَحْدَبِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ: جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، فَقَالَ: جَلَسَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فِي مَجْلِسَكَ هَذَا فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ صَفْرَاءَ، وَلَا بَيْضَاءَ إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ، " قَدْ سَبَقَكَ صَاحِبَاكَ، لَمْ يَفْعَلَا ذَلِكَ "، فَقَالَ: هُمَا الْمَرْءَانِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا (٣)، ،

Abu Wa'il says that once I was sitting with Shaybah bin Uthman when he said: Once Umar was sitting in your place and he said: I wish that I do not leave any gold or silver in the Ka'bah, but distribute everything among the people. I said to him: You cannot do this because two of your companions have passed before you and they did not do this. Umar said: They were indeed the two men who should be followed.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ: جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَجْلِسَكَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ فِيهَا صَفْرَاءَ، وَلَا بَيْضَاءَ إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ، قَالَ: لِمَ؟ قُلْتُ: " لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ صَاحِبَاكَ "، قَالَ: هُمَا الْمَرْءَانِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا (١)، ،
