"عَنْ نافع بن عبد الحارث، قال: قَدِمَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخطَّابِ مَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَ دَارَ النَّدْوَة فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَة وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَقرِبَ منْهَا الرَّوَاحَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَلْقَى ردَاءَهُ عَلَى وَاقِفٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ طَيْرٌ منْ هَذَا الْحَمَامِ - فأطارَهُ، فَانْتهَزَتْهُ حيَّةٌ فَقَتلتْهُ، فَلمَّا صَلَّى الجُمُعةَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيهِ أنَا وعُثْمَانُ بنُ عفَّان ؓ فَقَالَ: احْكُمَا عَلَىَّ في شَئٍ صَنَعْتُهُ الْيَومَ، إنِّى دَخَلْتُ هَذِهِ الدَّارَ وأرَدْتُ أن أسْتَقْرِبَ منِهَا الرَّواحَ إلَى المَسْجدِ، فَألْقَيتُ رِدَائِى عَلَى هَذَا الْوَاقِفِ، فَوقَعَ عَليه طَيرٌ مِنْ هَذَا الَحَمَامِ) فخشِيت أن يلطخهُ بَسَلْحِهِ، فأطرته عنه، فوقع على هذا الْوَاقِفِ الآخَرِ، فَانْتَهَزَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ فَقَتَلَتْهُ، فَوَجَدْتُ فِي نَفْسِى أَنِّى أَطَرْتُهُ مِنْ مَنْزِلةٍ كَانَ فيهَا آمِنًا إِلَى مَوْقِعَةٍ كَانَ فيهَا حَتْفُهُ، فَقُلتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ: كَيْفَ تَرَى في عَنْزَة ثَنِيَّةٍ عَفْرَاءَ نَحْكُمُ بِهَا عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: أَرَى ذَلِكَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَر".

"From Nafi' ibn 'Abd al-Harith, he said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came to Makkah and entered Dar al-Nadwah on a Friday, and he wanted to hasten his going out to the mosque for the Friday prayer. He put his cloak on a standing (pillar) in the house, and a bird of these doves landed on it, so he shooed it away, and a snake struck it and killed it. When he had prayed the Friday prayer, I and 'Uthman ibn 'Affan entered upon him, and he said: Judge between me in a matter I have done today. I entered this house and wanted to hasten my going out to the mosque, so I put my cloak on this standing (pillar), and a dove of these doves landed on it. I feared that it would soil it with its droppings, so I shooed it away from it, and it landed on this other standing (pillar), and a snake struck it and killed it. I found in myself that I had driven it from a place where it was safe to a place where its death was. So I said to 'Uthman ibn 'Affan: What do you think about a white-faced goat of the hill that we should judge against the Commander of the Believers with? He said: I think that is right, so 'Umar ordered it."
