Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-3101b
"عن الزهرى، عن عروة! أن عمر بن الخطاب أراد أن يكتب السنن، فاستفتى أصحاب رسول اللَّه ﷺ في ذلك، فأشاروا عليه، فطفِقَ عمر يستخير اللَّه فيها شهرًا، ثم أصبح يوما وقد عزم اللَّه له، فقال: إنى كنت أريد أن أكتب السنن وإنى ذكرت قوما كانوا قبلكم كتبوا كتبًا فأكبوا عليها وتركوا كتاب اللَّه، وإنى لا أسوى كتاب اللَّه بشئ أبدًا".

"It was narrated from al-Zuhri, on the authority of 'Urwah, that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wanted to write down the Sunan, so he consulted the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that, and they gave their opinions. 'Umar began to seek Allah's guidance about it for a month. Then one morning Allah had resolved it for him, and he said: \"I was intending to write down the Sunan, but I remembered people before you who wrote books and became absorbed in them and abandoned the Book of Allah. I will never equate anything with the Book of Allah.\""
