[Machine] "O Umar, we came to you so that you may judge between us. And in his house, the judge was brought to him. Zaid then moved aside from his sleeping position and said, 'Come here, O Commander of the Believers.' Umar said to him, 'You have already told me your case, but now I will sit with your opponent.' They both sat in front of him. Ubay objected and Umar said to Zaid, 'Forgo the right of the Commander of the Believers to be the first to speak, and I was not going to ask it of anyone else.' Umar then swore an oath that Zaid ibn Thabit would not reach a judgment until either Umar or a Muslim of equal status was present."
