"عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّب قَالَ: خَرَجَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّاب عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ: أَفْتُونِى فِى شَىْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ الْيَومَ، فَقَالُوا: مَا هُوَ يَا أَميرَ المُؤْمِنينَ؟ قَالَ: مَرَّتْ بِى جَارِيَةٌ لِى فَأَعْجَبَتْنِى فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ، فَعَظَّمَ عَلَيْه الْقَوْمُ، وعَلِىٌّ سَاكتٌ، فَقَالَ: مَا تَقُولُ يَا بْنَ أَبِى طَالِبٍ؟ فَقَالَ: جِئتَ حَلالًا، ويَومٌ مَكانَ يَومٍ، فَقالَ: أَنْتَ خَيرُهُمْ فَتْوَى".

"Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came out to his companions one day and said: 'Give me a fatwa about something I did today.' They said: 'What is it, O Commander of the Believers?' He said: 'A slave girl of mine passed by me and I was attracted to her, so I had intercourse with her while I was fasting.' The people considered it a grave matter, while 'Ali was silent. He said: 'What do you say, O son of Abu Talib?' He said: 'You came to her lawfully, and it is a day in place of a day.' He said: 'You are the best of them in giving fatwa.'"
