"عَنْ سَعيدِ بْنِ المُسيِّبِ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ كَتَبَ أَمْرَ الْجَدِّ والكَلالَةِ في كَتِفٍ ثُمَّ طَفِقَ يَسْتَخيرُ ربَّهُ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى كُنْتُ كَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا فِى الجَدِّ والكَلَالَةِ وَكُنْتُ أَسْتَخِيرُ اللَّهَ فِيهِ، وإنِّى رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّكُمْ إِلَى مَا كُنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَدْرُوا مَا كَانَ فِى الكَتِفِ".

"From Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib: that 'Umar wrote the matter of the grandfather and the kalalah on a shoulder-blade, then began to seek guidance from his Lord, saying: 'O Allah, I had written a document about the grandfather and the kalalah, and I was seeking Allah's guidance regarding it. Now I have decided to return you to what you were upon.' They did not know what was in the shoulder-blade."
