وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، وَأُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ؓ، اخْتَلَفَا فِي الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي، فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ ؓ: يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ: فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ ؓ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَقَالَ: رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اخْتَلَفَا فِي فُتْيَا وَاحِدَةٍ، فَبِأَيِّ الْقَوْلَيْنِ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا إِنَّ الْقَوْلَ مَا قَالَ أُبَيٌّ ؓ، وَلَمْ يَأْلُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ

✧ Ibn Mas'ud and Ubayy b. Ka'b ؓ disagreed about a man praying. Ubayy ؓ said: "He prays in one garment," and Ibn Mas'ud ؓ said: "In two garments." This reached 'Umar ؓ, so he sent for them and said: "Two men from the Companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ have disagreed on a single ruling; by which of the two sayings should the people act?" Then he said: "Verily, the saying is what Ubayy ؓ said, and Ibn Mas'ud did not fall short."
