Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2904b
"عن الشعبى قال: تَنَازعَ فِى جُذَاذِ نَخْلٍ أبىُّ بن كعب وعمرُ بن الخطاب، فبكى أبىٌّ ثم قال: أفى سلطانك يا عُمَرُ؟ قال عمر: اجعل بينى وبينَك رجلًا من المسلمين، قال أبىٌّ: زيد، قال: رضيت، فانطلقا حتى دخلا على زيد (فلما رأى زيد) عمر تنحى عن فراشِه، فقال له عمر: (في بيته يؤتى الحكم، فعرف زيد أنهما جاءا ليتحاكما إليه، فقال لأُبى: تقصُّ؟ فقص، فقال له عمر: ) تذكر لعلك نسيتَ شيئا فتذكر ثم قص حتى قال: ما أذكرُ شيئًا، ثم قصَّ عمر، فقال زيدٌ: بينتك يا أبَىُّ؟ قال: ما لى بينةٌ، قال: فأَعْفِ أميرَ المؤمنينِ من اليمين، فقال عمر: لا تُعْفِ أميرَ المؤمنين من اليمين إن رأيتها عليه".

"It is narrated from al-Sha'bi who said: Ubayy ibn Ka'b and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab disputed over the palm-harvest. Ubayy wept and then said, 'Is it by your authority, O 'Umar?' 'Umar said, 'Make between me and you a man from the Muslims.' Ubayy said, 'Zayd.' He said, 'I agree.' So they set off until they entered upon Zayd. When Zayd saw 'Umar he moved aside from his bed, and 'Umar said to him, '(It is in his house that judgment is sought), so Zayd understood that they had come to have him judge between them. He said to Ubayy, 'Will you state your case?' So he stated it, and 'Umar said to him, 'Remember; perhaps you have forgotten something, so remember.' Then he stated it until he said, 'I do not recall anything.' Then 'Umar stated his case. Zayd said, 'Your evidence, O Ubayy?' He said, 'I have no evidence.' He said, 'Then excuse the Commander of the Believers from the oath.' 'Umar said, 'Do not excuse the Commander of the Believers from the oath if you see it is due from him.'"
