أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ هَارُونَ بْنَ عَنْتَرَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْنَا أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ لِنَتَحَدَّثَ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ قُمْنَا، وَنَحْنُ نَمْشِي خَلْفَهُ، فَرَهَقَنَا عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَتَبِعَهُ فَضَرَبَهُ عُمَرُ بِالدِّرَّةِ، قَالَ : فَاتَّقَاهُ بِذِرَاعَيْهِ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَا نَصْنَعُ؟، قَالَ :" أَوَ مَا تَرَى؟ فِتْنَةً لِلْمَتْبُوعِ، مَذَلَّةً لِلتَّابِعِ "

Muhammad ibn Al-Ala informed us, Ibn Idris told us, he said: I heard Harun ibn Antarah, on the authority of Sulaym ibn Hanzalah, he said: We came to my father Ibn Ka'b, so we could talk to him. When he got up, we got up and walked behind him. Omar, may God be pleased with him, became exhausted. He followed him, and Omar hit him with the stone. He said: So he surrounded him with his arms and said: O Commander of the Faithful, what shall we do? He said: Or what do you see? A trial for the one who is being followed, a humiliation for the one who follows.
