Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36114 — Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Syria, many armies came to him. Sayyiduna Umar was wearing a waist-wrap, leather socks and a turban, and he was holding his camel and wading through the water. The people said: "O Commander of the Faithful, many people and the rulers of Syria are coming to you, and you are in this state." Sayyiduna Umar said: "We are a people whom Allah Almighty has honoured through Islam, and we will not seek honour in anything other than Islam."
