"عَنْ خَالدِ بْنِ اللَّجْلاجِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ صَلَّى يَوْمًا لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ فِى الركْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ أَطَالَ الجُلُوسَ، فَلَمَّا استَقَلَّ قَائِمًا نَكَصَ خَلْفَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَدَّمَهُ مَكَانَهُ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَى العَصْرِ صَلَّى للنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَخَذَ بِجنَاحِ المِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّها النَّاسُ: فَإِنِّى تَوَضَّأتُ للصَّلاةِ، فَمَرَرْتُ بِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِى فَكَانَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَها ما شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ، فَلَمَّا كُنْتُ فِى صَلاِتى وَجَدْتُ بَلَلًا، فَخَيَّرْتُ نَفْسِى بَيْنَ أَمْرَينِ: إِمَّا أنْ أَسْتَحِىَ مِنْكُم وأَجْتَرِئَ عَلَى اللهِ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ أَسْتَحِىَ مِنَ اللهِ وأَجْتَرِئَ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَكَانَ أَنْ أَسْتَحِىَ مِنَ اللهِ وَأَجْتَرِئَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَبَّ إِلىَّ فَخَرَجْتُ فَتَوَضَّأتُ وَجَدَّدتُ صَلاتِى، فَمَنْ صَنَعَ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا صَنَعْتُهُ فَليَصْنَع كَمَا صَنَعْتُ".

"From Khalid ibn al-Lajlaj that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab led the people in prayer one day. When he sat in the first two rak'ahs, he prolonged the sitting. When he got up to stand, he stepped back, took the hand of a man from the people, and made him go forward into his place. When he went out for the 'Asr prayer, he led the people in it. When he finished, he took hold of the side of the minbar, praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: 'Amma ba'd, O people: I performed wudu' for the prayer, and I passed by a woman from among my household, and there was between me and her what Allah willed to occur. When I was in my prayer, I found wetness, so I gave myself a choice between two matters: either I be shy before you and be bold against Allah, or I be shy before Allah and be bold against you. Being shy before Allah and being bold against you was more beloved to me. So I went out, performed wudu', and renewed my prayer. Whoever among you does what I have done, let him do as I have done.'"
