Is it possible to identify the narrator of the hadith: "A man came to Omar ibn al-Khattab and said to him, 'Fear Allah, O Omar.' A wave of anger swept through those sitting [around Omar]. Omar then said to them, 'There is no good in you if you do not say it, and there is no good in us if we do not accept it'"?

Ibn Shaybah, Al-Tawhidi, Ibn Rajab, and others reported an account from Al- Al-Basri that a man said to Umar ibn Al-Khattab: "Fear Allah, O Commander of the Believers, for by Allah, the matter is not as you have stated." Those present wanted to silence the man, but Umar said: "Leave them be."
