Is it authentic that 'Umar intended to carry out the punishment of retaliation against Abu al-Darda' because he guaranteed a man who was subject to the punishment of retaliation, and that man fled?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the authenticity of the story that occurred during the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, in which a stranger was established as being subject to the punishment of retaliation? He sought permission from 'Umar to go to his children, so Abu al-Darda' or one of the Companions guaranteed him. Then he delayed beyond the period, and 'Umar intended to carry out the punishment on that Companion. Is this authentic?

Answer:
And do they mention that the guarantor was Abu Dharr? But it is not authentic, and it is not possible that 'Umar would carry out the punishment on someone other than the one on whom it was obligatory, or carry out retaliation on someone other than the one on whom it was obligatory. This is not possible. Yes.
