Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-3077b
"عن الزهرى: كان مجلسُ عُمَر مُغْتَصّا من القُرَّاءِ شَبَابًا وَكُهُولًا، فربما استشارهم ويقول: لا يَمْنَعُ أحدكم حداثَهُ سنه أن يشير برأيه، فإن العلم ليس على حداثة السن وقدمه، ولكن اللَّه -تعالى- يضعه حيث يشاء".

"From al-Zuhri: Umar's gathering was filled with reciters, young and old. He would often consult them and say: 'Let none of you be prevented by his youth from giving his opinion, for knowledge is not according to youth or old age, but Allah, the Exalted, places it wherever He wills.'"
