أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ:

إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، رَدَّ عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ؓ قِرَاءَةَ آيَةٍ، فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ ؓ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنْتَ يُلْهِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ الصَّفْقُ بِالْبَقِيعِ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: صَدَقْتَ، إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُجَرِّبَكُمْ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ، فَلَا خَيْرَ فِي أَمِيرٍ لَا يُقَالُ عِنْدَهُ الْحَقُّ وَلَا يَقُولُهُ

✧ Indeed, 'Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ objected to Ubayy b. Ka'b ؓ concerning the reading of a verse. Ubayy ؓ said: 'I heard it from the Messenger of God ﷺ while you, O 'Umar, were distracted by the trading in al-Baqi'.' 'Umar ؓ said: 'You have spoken the truth. I only wanted to test whether there is among you anyone who speaks the truth. There is no good in a ruler before whom the truth is not spoken, nor does he speak it.'
