Abu Wa'il says that once I was sitting with Sayyiduna Shaybah bin Uthman when he said: Once Sayyiduna Umar was sitting in your place and he said: I wish that I do not leave any gold or silver in the Ka'bah, but distribute everything among the people. I said to him: You cannot do this because two of your companions have passed before you and they did not do this. Sayyiduna Umar said: They were indeed the two men who should be followed.
