Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2235b
"عن القاسمِ قالَ: كَانَ عمرُ يَسْتَخْلِفُ زيدَ بنَ ثابتٍ في كل سفرٍ، وكان يُفرِّقُ النَّاسَ في البلدانِ، ويوجهُهُ في الأمورِ المهمةِ، ويُطْلَبُ إليهِ الرجالُ (المُسَمَّوْنَ)، فَقَالَ لَهُ: زيدُ بنُ ثابتٍ، فيقولُ لم يَسْقُطْ عَلَىَّ مكانُ زيدٍ، ولكنَّ أهل البلدِ محتاجونَ إلى زيدٍ فيمَا يجدونَ عندَهُ فيمَا يَحْدُثُ لَهمْ، (ما لا) يَجِدُونَ عِنْدَ غيرِهِ".

"On the authority of al-Qasim, who said: 'Umar used to appoint Zayd ibn Thabit as his deputy on every journey, and he would dispatch people to the regions and send him on important matters. The men who were named were requested of him. He said to him: Zayd ibn Thabit. He said: The position of Zayd has not fallen to me, but the people of the region need Zayd in what they find with him of what happens to them that they do not find with anyone else."
