"عَنْ سَعيدِ بْنِ المُسيِّبِ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ كَتَبَ أَمْرَ الْجَدِّ والكَلالَةِ في كَتِفٍ ثُمَّ طَفِقَ يَسْتَخيرُ ربَّهُ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى كُنْتُ كَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا فِى الجَدِّ والكَلَالَةِ وَكُنْتُ أَسْتَخِيرُ اللَّهَ فِيهِ، وإنِّى رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّكُمْ إِلَى مَا كُنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَدْرُوا مَا كَانَ فِى الكَتِفِ".
