“On the authority of Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn 'Amr ibn Hazm, from his father: It reached 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas had made a wooden door with panels on the door of his house, and had built a reed screen around his palace. So he sent Muhammad ibn Maslamah and ordered me to go with him, and he wrote a guide to the lands. We set out, and he had ordered him to burn that door and that screen, and to appoint Sa'd for the people of Kufah in their mosques. This was because 'Umar had heard from some people of Kufah that Sa'd had shown favouritism in the sale of a fifth that he had sold. We arrived at Sa'd's house and he burned the door and the screen. Muhammad appointed Sa'd over their mosques, and he began to ask them about Sa'd and inform them that the Commander of the Faithful had ordered this, but he found no one who told him anything except good.”
