"عَنِ ابنِ عباس قال: بينما أنا أقرأ آية من كتاب اللَّه في سكة من سكك المدينة إذ سمعت صوتًا من خلفى: اتبع يا بن عباس، اتبع يا بن عباس -يعنى: أَسند- فالتفت فإذا عمر بن الخطاب، فقلت: أتبعك على أُبى بن كعب، فقال لمولى له: اذهب معه إلى أُبى، فقل له: أنت أقرأته هذه الآية؟ فانطلقنا إلى أُبى، فإنَّا لبابه إِذْ جاء عمر فاستأذن، فأذن له ودخلنا على أُبَى وجاء زيد يَدَّرى رأسه بمدرى، فطرح لعمر وسادة من أَدَم فجلس عليها وَأُبَىٌّ مقبل بوجهه على حائط وظهره إلى عمر، فالتفت إلينا عمر فقال: ما يرانا هذا شيئا، ثم أقبل أُبى عليه بوجهه فقال: مرحبا يا أمير المؤمنين، أزائرا جئت أو طالب حاجة؟ فقال: لا بل طالب حاجة، على ما تُقنط الناس يا أُبى؟ قال: وكأنها آية فيها شدة، فقال أُبى: إنى تلقيت القرآن ممن تلقاه من جبريلَ وهو رَطْب، فصفق عمر وقامَ وهو يقول: واللَّه ما أنت بمنتهٍ وما أنا بصابرٍ، واللَّه ما أنت بمنته وما أنا بصابرٍ".

"On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, who said: While I was reciting a verse from the Book of Allah in one of the lanes of Madinah, I heard a voice behind me: Follow, O Ibn 'Abbas, follow, O Ibn 'Abbas, meaning: Support. I turned and it was 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. I said: I will follow you to Ubayy ibn Ka'b. He said to a freedman of his: Go with him to Ubayy and say to him: Did you teach him this verse? We went to Ubayy, and while we were at his door, 'Umar came and asked permission, and he was permitted. We entered upon Ubayy, and Zayd came combing his head with a comb. A leather cushion was thrown down for 'Umar, and he sat on it, while Ubayy was facing a wall with his back to 'Umar. 'Umar turned to us and said: Does this man not see us as anything? Then Ubayy turned his face towards him and said: Welcome, O Commander of the Believers. Have you come visiting or seeking a need? He said: No, rather seeking a need. What is it that makes people despair, O Ubayy? He said: It seems to be a verse that contains severity. Ubayy said: I received the Qur'an from the one who received it from Jibril while it was fresh. 'Umar clapped, stood up, and said: By Allah, you will not stop, and I will not be patient. By Allah, you will not stop, and I will not be patient."
