Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32432 — Book of Faith

Sa'id bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: News reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man in Syria who claimed that he was a believer. The narrator said: So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote: "Bring him to me." So he came before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Are you the one who claims that you are a believer?" He said: "Yes! Were the people in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not of three kinds: believer, hypocrite and disbeliever? By Allah, I am not a disbeliever, nor do I practise hypocrisy." The narrator said: So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Stretch out your hand."
