"عن النُّعْمانِ بنِ بَشِير أَنَّ عُمَرَ بن الخَطَّابِ قَالَ فِى مَجْلسٍ وَحَوْلَه المُهَاجرُون وَالأَنْصَارُ: أَرَأَيْتُم لَو تَرَخَّصْتُ فِى بَعْضِ الأمُورِ مَا كُنْتُم فَاعِلينَ؟ فَسَكَتُوا، فَقَالَ ذَلِك مَرَّتيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، فَقَالَ بَشِيرُ بنُ سَعْدٍ: لَو فَعَلت ذَلِكَ قَوَّمْنَاكَ تَقْوِيمَ القِدْحِ ()، فَقَال عُمَرُ: أَنْتُم إِذًا، أنتم إذًا".

"It is narrated from al-Nu'man ibn Bashir that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said in a gathering, with the Muhajirun and the Ansar around him: 'What do you think if I were to relax in some matters, what would you do?' They were silent. He said it twice or three times. Bashir ibn Sa'd said, 'If you did that, we would straighten you as the arrow is straightened (qidh).' 'Umar said, 'You, then! You, then!'"
