"عن مروان: أَنَّ عمَرَ حِينَ طُعنَ قال: إِنِّى كُنْت قَضَيْتُ في الجَدِّ قَضَايَا، فَإِنْ شِئْتمْ أَنْ تَأخُذوا بِهِ فَافْعَلُوا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: إِنْ نَتَّبعْ رَأيَكَ فَإِنَّ رَأيَكَ رُشْدٌ، وَإِنْ نَتَّبعْ رَأى الشَّيْخِ قبلَكَ فَنِعْمَ ذُو الرَّأى كَانَ".

"From Marwan: that 'Umar, when he was stabbed, said: 'I had given rulings on the grandfather in several matters. If you wish to act upon them, then do so.' 'Uthman said to him: 'If we follow your opinion, then your opinion is right guidance; and if we follow the opinion of the elder before you, then how excellent a man of opinion he was.'"
