Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1900b
"عن سعيد بن المُسيِّب أن عمر اخْتصم إليه مسلمٌ ويهودىٌّ، فرأى أن الحقَّ لليهودِى فقضى له، فقال اليهودِى: واللَّه لقد قضيت لى بالحقِّ، فضرَبه عمرُ بالدِّرة ثم قال له: وما يُدْريك؟ قال: إنَّا نجد أنَّه ليس قاضٍ يقضِى بالحقِّ إلا كان عن يمينه ملك وعن يساره ملك يسددانه ويُوفِّقانِه للحقِّ ما دامَ مع الحقِّ، فإذا تركَ الحق عَرجَا وتَرَكَاه".

"From Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab that a dispute between a Muslim and a Jew was brought to Umar, and he saw that the right was with the Jew, so he ruled in his favor. The Jew said: By Allah, you have ruled for me with the truth! Umar struck him with a whip and said: What makes you know that? He said: We find that there is no judge who judges with the truth except that on his right is an angel and on his left is an angel, guiding him and granting him success in the truth as long as he remains with the truth. When he abandons the truth, they ascend and leave him."
