عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْعَزِيزِ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَخْبَرَهُ،
أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي سُوَيْدٍ أَقَامَهُ لِلنَّاسِ، وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ بِالطَّائِفِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ، فَكَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ يُبَشِّرُهُ، فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: مَا كَانَ نَوْلُكَ أَنْ تُقَدِّمَ لِلنَّاسِ غُلَامًا لَمْ تَجِبْ عَلَيْهِ الْحُدُودُ
Translation
✧ Muhammad b. Abi Suwayd appointed him for the people as a boy in al-Ta'if in the month of Ramadan to lead them in prayer, and he wrote about that to Umar, bringing him good news. Umar became angry and wrote to him: It was not your place to put forward for the people a boy upon whom the legal punishments are not incumbent.
