"عَن إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: مَنْ أَسْتَخلِفُ؟ لَوْ كَانَ أبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ! فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجْلٌ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنْ عَبْد اللَّه بْنِ عُمَرَ؟ فَقَالَ: قَاتَلَكَ اللَّه، وَاللَّه مَا أَرَدْتَ اللَّه بِهذَا؛ أَسْتَخْلِفُ رَجُلًا لم يُحْسِنْ (لَيْسَ) أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ امْرَأتَهُ".

Ibrahim said: Umar said, 'Whom shall I appoint as successor? If only Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah were alive!' A man said to him, 'O Commander of the Faithful, where do you stand regarding 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar?' He said, 'May Allah fight you! By Allah, you did not intend Allah with this. Shall I appoint a man who does not know (laysa) how to divorce his wife?'
