Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36111 — Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)
٣٦١١١ - حدثنا وكيع عن إسماعيل عن قيس قال: لما قدم عمر الشام استقبله الناس وهو على (بعيره) (١) فقالوا: يا أمير المؤمنين، لو ركبت برذونا يلقاك عظماء الناس ووجوههم، فقال عمر: (لا) (٢) أراكم هاهنا، إنما الأمر من (هاهنا) (٣) -وأشار بيده إلى السماء (٤).
Qays said: When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Syria, the people received him while he was riding his camel. The people said: "O Commander of the Faithful, it would be good if you rode a horse of fine breed, for the great and leading men of this place will be meeting you." Sayyiduna Umar said: "Matters are not decided here but there," and he pointed towards the sky.
