"عَنِ الزُّهْرِى قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ لِعَيْسي بنِ مكشوح () المرادى: أنبئتُ أَنَّكَ تَشْرَبُ الخَمْرَ، فَقالَ: قَدْ وَاللهِ أَرَاكَ يَا أَميرَ المُؤمنينَ أَسَأتَ، أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا مَشَيْتُ خَلفَ مَلِك قَطُّ إلاَّ حَدَّثْتُ نفسى بقتلِه، قَال: فَهَلْ حَدَّثْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِقَتْلِى؟ قَال: لَو هَمَمْتُ لَفَعَلتُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَوْ قُلتَ نَعَمْ لَضَرَبْت عُنُقَكَ، أُخْرُجْ لاَ وَاللهِ لاَ تَبِيتُ الليَّلةَ معِى، فَقَال له عَبدُ الرَّحْمنِ بِنُ عَوْفٍ: يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنينَ! لَو قَالَ نَعَمْ لَضَرَبْتَ عُنُقَهُ؟ قَالَ: لاَ، وَلَكِنِّى اسْتَرْهَبْتُه بِذَلِك".

It is narrated from al-Zuhri who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said to 'Aysi ibn Makshuh () al-Muradi: "I have been informed that you drink wine." He said: "By Allah, O Commander of the Believers, you have erred. By Allah, I have never walked behind a king except that I thought of killing him." He said: "Have you thought of killing me?" He said: "If I had intended it, I would have done it." 'Umar said: "If you had said yes, I would have struck off your neck. Get out; by Allah, you shall not spend the night with me." 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf said to him: "O Commander of the Believers! If he had said yes, would you have struck his neck?" He said: "No, but I intimidated him with that."
