It is narrated from Marwan bin Al-Hakam that when Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was wounded by a spear, he consulted the companions regarding the grandfather, and said: "I had an opinion regarding the grandfather; if you wish, you may follow it." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If we follow your opinion, it is a path of guidance, and if we accept the opinion of the Shaykh (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him), he too was a man of very good opinion."
