عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا عَمَّانُ يَنْضَحُ بِنَاحِيَتِهَا الْبَحْرُ بِهَا حَيٌّ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ لَوْ أَتَاهُمْ رَسُولِي مَا رَمَوْهُ بِسَهْمٍ وَلَا حَجَرٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I know of a land called Oman, on one side of which flows the sea. There dwells an Arab tribe, if my envoy were to go to them, they would neither shoot arrows at him nor throw stones at him.
