"عن سالم بنِ عبد اللَّه قَالَ: كنّا مع ابن عمر يومَ ماتَ زيدُ بنُ ثابتٍ فقلتُ: ماتَ عالمُ النَّاسِ اليومَ، فقالَ ابنُ عمر -يرحمهُ اللَّه-: اليومَ؟ فقد كَانَ عالمَ النَّاسِ في خلافةِ عمرَ وَحَبْرَهَا، فرَّقَهم عمرُ في البلدانِ ونهاهُمْ أن يُفْتُوا بِرَأيِهِمْ، وجلَسَ زيدُ بنُ ثابت بالمدينةِ (يُفْتِى أهْلَ المَدِينةِ)، وغَيرهُمْ مِن الطُّرَّاءِ -يعنى القُدَّام".

"On the authority of Salim ibn 'Abd Allah, who said: We were with Ibn 'Umar on the day Zayd ibn Thabit died. I said: The scholar of the people has died today. Ibn 'Umar, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Today? He was the scholar of the people during the caliphate of 'Umar and its sea of knowledge. 'Umar dispersed the people across the regions and forbade them to give legal opinions based on their own judgment. Zayd ibn Thabit remained in Madinah giving legal opinions to the people of Madinah, and others among the late-comers, meaning the earlier ones (al-qudam)."
