أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ قَالَ
«كُنْتُ أَنْشُدُهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ أَصْحَابَهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ رَجُلٌ بَعِيدٌ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنَاكِبِ أَصْلَعُ» فَقِيلَ لِي اسْكُتِ اسْكُتْ فَقُلْتُ «وَاثُكْلَاهُ مِنْ هَذَا الَّذِي أَسْكُتُ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟» فَقِيلَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ

✧ "I was reciting poetry to him, meaning the Prophet ﷺ, and I did not recognize his Companions until a man came who was broad between the shoulders and bald." It was said to me, "Be quiet! Be quiet!" I said, "Alas, who is this for whom I must be quiet in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ?" It was said to me, "Umar b. al-Khattab."
