[Machine] "Umar said, 'I see that the Quran has become widespread among the people.' So I said, 'I do not like that, O Amir al-Mu'mineen.' He then pulled his hand away from mine and asked, 'Why did you say that?' I replied, 'Because whenever they recite it, they differ. And whenever they differ, they harm one another.' He then turned away from me and left, and I remained in his presence on a day that only Allah knows. Then His messenger, may peace be upon him, came to me at noon and said, 'Answer the Amir al-Mu'mineen.' So I went to him, and he asked, 'What did you say?' And I repeated my argument. Umar said, 'If I were to keep it hidden from the people...' and then the Dhahabi kept silent in his summary."  

عُمَرُ «أَرَى الْقُرْآنَ قَدْ ظَهَرَ فِي النَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ مَا أُحِبُّ ذَاكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَاجْتَذَبَ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدَي وَقَالَ لِمَ قُلْتَ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ مَتَى يَقْرَءُوا يَتَقَرُّوا وَمَتَى مَا يَتَقَرُّوا اخْتَلَفُوا وَمَتَى مَا يَخْتَلِفُوا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُهُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ فَجَلَسَ عَنِّي وَتَرَكَنِي فَظَلَلْتُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَتَانِي رَسُولُهُ الظُّهْرَ فَقَالَ أَجِبْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟ فَأَعَدْتُ مَقَالَتِي قَالَ عُمَرُ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَكْتُمُهَا النَّاسَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
