Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2683b
"عَنْ أَبى عثمان النهدى، عن صبيغٍ أنه: سأل عمر بن الخطاب عن المرسلاتِ، والذاريات، والنازعات، فقال له عمر: أَلْقِ ما علَى رأسِكَ، فإذا له ضفيرتَانِ، فقال: لو وجدتُك محلوقًا لضربت الذى فيه عيناكَ، ثم كتبَ إلى أَهْلِ البصرةِ أن لا تجالسوا صُبيْغًا، قال أبو عثمان: لو جاء ونحن مائةٌ لتَفَرقنا عَنْه".

“From Abu ‘Uthman al-Nahdi, from Subay‘: he asked ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab about al-Mursalat, al-Dhariyat, and al-Nazi‘at. ‘Umar said to him: ‘Remove what is on your head.’ He had two braids. ‘Umar said: ‘If I found you shaved, I would strike the one your eyes are on.’ Then he wrote to the people of Basra not to sit with Subay‘. Abu ‘Uthman said: ‘If he came while we were a hundred, we would disperse from him.’”
