حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ لِصُهَيْبٍ ؓ: لَوْلَا ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ فِيكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِكَ بَأْسٌ، قَالَ: وَمَا هُنَّ ؟ فَوَاللهِ مَا تَزَالُ تَعِيبُ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: اكْتِنَاؤُكَ بِأَبِي يَحْيَى، وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ، وَادِّعَاؤُكَ إِلَى النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ وَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ أَلْكَنُ، وَأَنَّكَ لَا تُمْسِكُ الْمَالَ، قَالَ: أَمَّا اكْتِنَائِي بِأَبِي يَحْيَى فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَنَّانِي بِهَا، فَلَا أَدَعُهَا حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ، وَأَمَّا ادِّعَائِي إِلَى النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ فَإِنِّي امْرُؤٌ مِنْهُمْ، وَلَكِنِ اسْتُرْضِعَ لِي بِالْأُبُلَّةِ، فَهَذِهِ اللُّكْنَةُ مِنْ ذَاكَ، وَأَمَّا الْمَالُ فَهَلْ تُرَانِي أُنْفِقُ إِلَّا فِي حَقٍّ

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab said to Suhayb ؓ: "Were it not for three traits in you, there would be no fault in you." He said: "And what are they? By Allah, you keep finding fault with something." He said: "Your taking the kunya Abu Yahya when you have no child, your claiming descent from al-Namir b. Qasit when you are a man with a speech impediment, and that you do not hold on to wealth." He said: "As for my kunya Abu Yahya, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave it to me, so I will not abandon it until I meet him. As for my claiming descent from al-Namir b. Qasit, I am a man of them, but I was nursed in al-Ubulla, so this speech impediment is from that. As for wealth, do you see me spending except on what is right?"
