Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1441b
"عَن الشَّعْبِىِّ قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ عُمَرَ وَبَيْنَ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ خُصُومَةٌ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: اجْعَلْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ رَجُلًا، فَجَعَلَا بَيْنَهُما زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، فَأَتَيَاهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أتَيْنَاكَ لِتحْكُمَ بَيْنَنَا "وَفِى بَيْتِهِ يُؤْتَى الحَكَمُ" فَلَمَّا دَخَلَا عَليْهِ وَسَّعَ لَهُ زَيْدٌ فِى صَدْرِ فِرَاشِهِ، فَقَالَ: هَاهُنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: هَذَا أَوَّلُ جَوْرٍ، جُرْتَ فِى حُكْمكَ، وَلكِنْ أَجْلِسُ مَعَ خَصْمِى، فَجَلَسَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَادَّعَى أُبَىٌّ وأَنْكَرَ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ لأُبَىٍّ: أَعْفِ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الْيَمِينِ، وَمَا كُنْتُ لأَسْأَلَهَا لأَحَد غَيْرِهِ، فَحَلَفَ عُمَرُ، ثم أَقْسَم لَا يُدْرِكُ زَيْدٌ القَضَاءَ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ عُمَرُ وَرَجُلٌ من عُرْضِ المسلمين عِنْدَهُ سَوَاءً".

"Al-Sha'bi said: There was a dispute between 'Umar and Ubayy ibn Ka'b. 'Umar said: 'Appoint a man between me and you.' So they appointed Zayd ibn Thabit between them, and they came to him. 'Umar said: 'We have come to you so that you may judge between us,' and 'the judge is brought to his house.' When they entered upon him, Zayd made room for him on the head of his bedding and said: 'Here, O Commander of the Believers.' 'Umar said to him: 'This is the first injustice; you have been unjust in your judgment. Rather, let me sit with my opponent.' So they both sat before him. Ubayy claimed and 'Umar denied. Zayd said to Ubayy: 'Excuse the Commander of the Believers from the oath, for I would not ask it of anyone but him.' 'Umar swore, then he swore that Zayd would not attain judgeship until 'Umar and a man from among the common Muslims were equal in his sight."
