Qays reported,

I heard Saeed bin Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl say in the mosque of Kufa, "By Allah, I remember when Umar had me bound up because of my acceptance of Islam, before he himself became Muslim. And if Mount Uhud were to crumble apart over what you have done to Uthman, it would have every right to do so."

Sahih

عن قيس، قال

سمعت سعيد بن زيد بن عمرو بن نفيل يقول في مسجد الكوفة: والله لقد رأيتني وإن عمر لموثقي على الاسلام قبل ان يسلم، ولو ان احدا ارفض للذي صنعتم بعثمان لكان.
