Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2486b
"عن الحسن قال: خرج عمر بن الخطاب في يومٍ حارٍّ واضعًا رِدَاءَه على رأسِه، فمرَّ بهِ غلامٌ على حمارٍ فقالَ: يا غلامُ! احْمِلْنِى معك، فوثب الغلامُ عن الحمارِ وقال: ارْكَبْ يا أَمِيرَ المؤمنين، فقَالَ: لا، اركبْ؛ وأَرْكَبُ أنَا خَلفَكَ، تُرِيدُ أن تَحْمِلنى على المكانِ الْوَطِئِ وَترْكَبَ أَنتَ على الموضع الْخَشِنِ! ولكن اركب أنت على المكان الوطئ، وأركب أنا خلفك على المكان الخشن، فركب خَلْف الغلامِ، فدخل المدينةَ وهو خلْفَه والناسُ ينظرون إليه".

"From al-Hasan who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab went out on a hot day, placing his cloak over his head. A boy on a donkey passed by him, and he said: O boy! Carry me with you. The boy leapt down from the donkey and said: Ride, O Commander of the Faithful! He said: No, you ride, and I will ride behind you. Do you want to carry me on the soft place and ride yourself on the rough place? Rather, you ride on the soft place, and I will ride behind you on the rough place. So he rode behind the boy, and he entered Madinah with him behind, while the people looked at him."
