Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35636 — Safe conduct: what is it and how
٣٥٦٣٦ - حدثنا عباد بن العوام (عن حصين) (١) عن أبي عطية قال: كتب عمر إلى أهل الكوفة أنه ذكر لي أن (مطرس) (٢) بلسان الفارسية: الأمنة، فإن قلتموها لمن لا يفقه لسانكم فهو آمن (٣).
It is narrated from Abu Atiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to the people of Kufah: I have been told that the word 'matars' means safe conduct in Persian. If you say 'matars' to someone who does not understand your language, it will count as safe conduct.
