Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37161 — The words of Umar bin al-Khattab

It is narrated from Aslam, the slave of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: When we went to al-Sham with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he made his camel kneel and went off to relieve himself. I laid my leather garment between the two parts of the saddle. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came back, he (may Allah be pleased with him) rode upon that leather. We then met the people of al-Sham, who received Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). They began to look about, so I began to point Sayyiduna Umar out to them. The narrator said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Their eyes yearn for the mounts of those who have no share. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) meant the mounts of the non-Arabs.
