"عَن ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِذَا نَزَلَ الأَمْرُ الْمُعْضِلُ دَعَا الْفِتْيَانَ فَاسْتَشَارَهُم يَبْتَغِى حِدة عُقُولِهِم".

[Machine] "Regarding the saying, do not belittle yourselves due to the youthfulness of your teeth, for indeed, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, if he encountered a difficult matter, would call upon the young ones and seek their consultation, seeking the sharpness of their intellects. This is a narration of Ali."

البيهقي:٢٠٣٣١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْفَسَوِيُّ بِالْبَصْرَةِ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ يُوسُفُ الْمَاجِشُونُ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَعْرُوفِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْإِسْفَرَايِينِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ الْحَذَّاءُ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ الْمَاجِشُونُ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَنَا وَابْنُ أَخِي وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي وَنَحْنُ غِلْمَانٌ أَحْدَاثٌ نَسْأَلُهُ

عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ لَا تَحْقِرُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِحَدَاثَةِ أَسْنَانِكُمْ فَإِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ كَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِ الْأَمْرُ الْمُعْضِلُ دَعَا الْفِتْيَانَ فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ يَبْتَغِي حِدَّةَ عُقُولِهِمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَلِيٍّ
