[Machine] Umar and Uthman had a dispute in which they both participated. Umar went to him with a pearl and struck him with it. He mentioned the narration, saying Umar said to the boy, "Follow whichever of the two you want." The boy got up and followed one of them. Abdur Rahman said, "It was as if I were watching him following one of them, going away." Umar said, "May Allah curse the brother of the sons of Mustalq."
