"عن ابن عباس قال: كانت للعباسِ دارٌ بالمدينة إلى جنب المسجد، فقال عمر: هبها لى أو بعنيها حتى أُدخلَها في المسجد، فأبى، قال: فاجعل بينى وبينَك رجلا من أعحابِ رسول اللَّه ﷺ، فجعلا أبىَّ بن كعب بينهما، فقضى أُبى على عمرَ، فقال عمر: ما من أصحاب رسول اللَّه ﷺ أحد أجرأ علىَّ من أُبى، قال: أو أنصح لك منى يا أمير المؤمنين؟ ! أما علمت قصة إن داود لما بنى المقدس أدخل فيه بيت امرأة بغير إذنها، فلما بلغ حجز الرجال منع بناءهُ، فقال: أى ربِّ إذ منعتنى بناءَه فاجعله في عقبى من بعدى، فلما كان بعد، قال له العباس: أليس قد قضيت لى بها؟ قال: بلى قال: فهى لك قد جعلتها للَّه".

"On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, who said: Al-'Abbas had a house in Madinah beside the mosque. 'Umar said: Give it to me, or sell it to me, so that I can include it in the mosque. He refused. He said: Then make someone between me and you from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They made Ubayy ibn Ka'b the arbiter between them, and Ubayy ruled against 'Umar. 'Umar said: No one among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is bolder against me than Ubayy. He said: Or more sincere to you than me, O Commander of the Believers? Do you not know the story that when Dawud built Bayt al-Maqdis, he included in it the house of a woman without her permission? When the building reached her chamber, he stopped its construction. He said: O Lord, since You have prevented me from building it, make it for my descendants after me. When some time had passed, al-'Abbas said to him: Did you not rule in my favour regarding it? He said: Yes. He said: Then it is yours; I have given it to Allah."
