"عَن عَبدِ اللَّه بنِ عُبَيدِ بنِ عُمَيرٍ قَال: بَيْنمَا ابنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَعَ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيدِهِ فَقالَ عُمَرُ: أَرَى القُرْآنَ قَد ظَهَرَ فِى النَّاسِ، قَلتُ: مَا أُحِبُّ ذَاكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤمنينَ، قَال: لِمَ؟ قُلْتُ: لأَنَّهم مَتَى يَقْرَأُوا يُنَقِّرُوا، وَمَتَى يُنَقِّرُوا يَخْتَلِفُوا، وَمَتى يَخْتَلِفُوا يَضْرِبْ بَعْضهُم رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ، فَقالَ عُمَرُ: إِنْ كُنْتُ لأُكَاتِمُهَا النَّاسَ".

"'Abd Allah ibn 'Ubayd ibn 'Umayr said: While Ibn 'Abbas was with 'Umar, holding his hand, 'Umar said: I see the Quran has spread among the people. I said: I do not like that, O Commander of the Believers. He said: Why? I said: Because when they recite it they will nitpick, and when they nitpick they will disagree, and when they disagree some of them will strike the necks of others. 'Umar said: Indeed, I used to conceal it from the people."
