"عَن ابْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِى مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى عُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ يَنْزِلَانِ بالْمُعَرِّسِ، فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا لِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَدينَةَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَرْدَفَ وَرَاءَهُ غُلَامًا فَدَخَلُوا الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى ذلِكَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ يُرْدِفَانِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِرَادَةَ التَّوَاضعِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، والتماس حمل الرَّاجِلِ لِئَلَّا يَكُونُوا كَغَيْرِهِمْ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَا أَحْدثَ النَّاسُ مِنْ أَنْ يُمْشُوا (غِلْمَانَهُمْ) خَلْفَهُمْ وَهُمْ رُكْبَانٌ، وَحَسَبَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ".

"Ibn Wahb said: Malik narrated to me from his paternal uncle, from his father, that he saw 'Umar and 'Uthman, when they came from Makkah, alight at al-Mu'arras. When they mounted to enter Madinah, none of them remained except that he seated a boy behind him, and they entered Madinah in that manner. He said: 'Umar and 'Uthman used to ride double. I said to him: "Out of humility?" He said: "Yes, and seeking to carry the one on foot, so that they would not be like other kings." Then he mentioned what people had introduced, of making their servants walk behind them while they rode, and he considered that a reckoning against them."
