4367. Narrated Ibn Abī Mulaika: 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair said that a group of riders belonging to Banū Tamīm came to the Prophet ﷺ. Abū Bakr said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "Appoint Al-Qa'qā' bin Ma'bad bin Zurāra as (their) ruler." 'Umar said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "No! But appoint Al-Aqra' bin Ḥābis." Thereupon Abū Bakr said (to 'Umar), "You just wanted to oppose me." 'Umar replied, "I did not want to oppose you." So both of them argued so much that their voices became louder, and then the following Divine Verses were revealed in that connection: "O you who believe! Do not put (a decision) in advance(1) before Allāh and His Messenger... (till the end of Verse)..." (V.49:1).
