حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ
أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ شَكَوْا سَعْدًا إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَبَعَثَ رِجَالًا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَكَانُوا لَا يَأْتُونَ مَسْجِدًا مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَّا أَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا وَقَالُوا مَعْرُوفًا حَتَّى أَتَوْا مَسْجِدًا مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ بَنِي عَبْسٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو سَعْدَةَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِذْ نَاشَدْتُمُونَا فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَسِيرُ بِالسَّرِيَّةِ وَلَا يَعْدِلُ فِي الْقَضِيَّةِ وَلَا يَقْسِمُ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ «اللهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَأَعْمِ بَصَرَهُ وَأَطِلْ فَقْرَهُ وَعَرِّضْهُ لِلْفِتَنِ» قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلْإِمَاءِ فِي السِّكَكِ فَإِذَا سَأَلُوهُ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ أَبَا سَعْدَةَ؟ فَيَقُولُ كَبِيرٌ ضَرِيرٌ فَقِيرٌ مَفْتُونٌ أَصَابَتْنِي دَعْوَةُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ «أَبُو سَعْدَةَ هُوَ جَدُّ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ»

✧ The people of Kufa complained about Saʿd to ʿUmar ؓ. He sent men to ask about him in Kufa. They did not come to any mosque of the people of Kufa except that they praised him and spoke well of him, until they came to a mosque of the Banū ʿAbs. A man called Abū Saʿdah stood up and said, “Since you have asked us, he does not lead raiding parties, he does not judge fairly, and he does not distribute equally.” Saʿd said, “O Allah, if he is lying, blind him, prolong his poverty, and expose him to trials.” ʿAbd al-Malik said, “I saw him accosting slave women in the streets. When they asked him, ‘How are you, Abū Saʿdah?’ he would say, ‘Old, blind, poor, and afflicted. The supplication of Saʿd has overtaken me.’” Abū al-Qāsim said, “Abū Saʿdah is the grandfather of Abū Bakr b. Abī Shaybah.”
