"عن ليث قال: تقدم إلى عمرَ بن الخطابِ خصمان فأقامَهما، ثم عَادَا فأقامَهما، ثم عادَا ففصلَ بينهما، فقيلَ له في ذلك، فقال: تَقَدَّما إلىَّ فوجدتُ لأحدِهما ما لم أجدْ لِصاحِبه، فكرهتُ أن أَفْصِل بينَهما على ذلك، ثم عادَا فوجدتُ بعضَ ذلِك فكرهتُ، ثم عادا وقد ذهبَ ذلك فَفَصَلتُ بينهما الحُكْمَ".

"From Layth, he said: Two litigants came before 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and he heard them. Then they returned and he heard them again, and then they returned and he heard them once more, and then he decided between them. He was asked about that, and he said: You both came before me, and I found for one of you what I did not find for his companion, so I disliked deciding between you on that basis. Then you returned, and I found some of that, and I disliked it. Then you returned, and that had gone, so I decided the judgment between you."
