[Machine] "That I will not leave in it (referring to a specific context) neither the yellow nor the white, unless I divide it between the Muslims." He (someone) said, "I asked, what are you doing?" He (the person speaking in the passage) said, "Why?" I said, "Didn't your companions do it?" He said, "They are the two individuals that people should follow."  

أحمد:١٥٣٨٣ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ وَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ جَلَسَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَجْلِسَكَ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ

أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ فِيهَا صَفْرَاءَ وَلَا بَيْضَاءَ إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ قَالَ لِمَ؟ قُلْتُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ صَاحِبَاكَ قَالَ هُمَا الْمَرْءَانِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا

bukhari:7275 – ʿAmr b. ʿAbbās > ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Sufyān > Wāṣil > Abū Wāʾil

I sat with Shaiba in this Mosque (Al-Masjid-Al-Haram), and he said, "ʿUmar once sat beside me here as you are now sitting, and said, 'I feel like distributing all the gold and silver that are in it (i.e., the Kaʿba) among the Muslims'. I said, 'You cannot do that.' ʿUmar said, 'Why?' I said, 'Your two (previous) companions (the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr) did not do it. ʿUmar said, 'They are the two persons whom one must follow.'" (See Hadith No. 664, Vol. 2)

جَلَسْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ جَلَسَ إِلَىَّ عُمَرُ فِي مَجْلِسِكَ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لاَ أَدَعَ فِيهَا صَفْرَاءَ وَلاَ بَيْضَاءَ إِلاَّ قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ قَالَ لِمَ قُلْتُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ صَاحِبَاكَ قَالَ هُمَا الْمَرْآنِ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمَا

[Machine] That I do not leave anything yellow or white in the Kaaba except for me to distribute it among the people. He said, I said, that is not for you, your companions have preceded you and they did not do that. So he said, they are the two men whom people should follow.
