أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ
كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِذْ جَاءَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يَشْكُونَ سَعْدًا حَتَّى قَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحْسِنُ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ عَهْدِي بِهِ وَهُوَ حَسَنُ الصَّلَاةِ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ بِهِمْ أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ» فَقَالَ ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ فَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَطِيفَ بِهِ فِي مَسَاجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ فَلَمْ يُقَلْ لَهُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي عَبْسٍ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُدْعَى أَبَا سَعْدَةَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَنْفِرُ فِي السَّرِيَّةِ وَلَا يَقْسِمُ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَلَا يَعْدِلُ فِي الْقَضِيَّةِ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ سَعْدٌ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَأَطِلْ عُمْرَهُ وَشَدِّدْ فَقْرَهُ وَاعْرِضْ عَلَيْهِ الْفِتَنَ» قَالَ فَزَعَمَ ابْنُ عُمَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ قَدْ سَقَطَ حَاجِبَاهُ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ قَدِ افْتَقَرَ وَافْتُتِنَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا يُسْأَلُ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ أَبَا سَعْدَةَ؟ فَيَقُولُ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ مَفْتُونٌ أُجِيبَتْ فِيَّ دَعْوَةُ سَعْدٍ

✧ I was sitting with Umar b. al-Khattab when some people from the people of Kufah came to him complaining about Sa'd, to the point that they said to him, 'He does not pray well.' He said, 'My experience with him is that he prays well.' So he called him and informed him. Sa'd said, 'As for the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I prayed with them, I was deliberate in the first two and quick in the last two.' Umar said, 'That is what was expected of you, Abu Ishaq.' Then he sent someone with him to ask about him in Kufah. He went around with him to the mosques of Kufah and nothing but good was said about him, until he came to the mosque of Banu Abs. There was a man called Abu Sa'dah. He said, 'O Allah, he did not go out on expeditions, did not divide equally, and did not judge justly.' Sa'd became angry and said, 'O Allah, if he is lying, then prolong his life, intensify his poverty, and expose him to trials.' Ibn Umayr claimed that he saw him with his eyebrows fallen over his eyes, impoverished and afflicted, and he would not find anything to ask about. 'How are you, Abu Sa'dah?' He would say, 'An old man, afflicted; the supplication of Sa'd has been answered against me.'
