"عَن إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: مَنْ أَسْتَخلِفُ؟ لَوْ كَانَ أبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ! فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجْلٌ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنْ عَبْد اللَّه بْنِ عُمَرَ؟ فَقَالَ: قَاتَلَكَ اللَّه، وَاللَّه مَا أَرَدْتَ اللَّه بِهذَا؛ أَسْتَخْلِفُ رَجُلًا لم يُحْسِنْ (لَيْسَ) أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ امْرَأتَهُ".  

ابن سعد
