Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab that he says: When Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Syria, many groups came to meet him, and at that time he (may Allah be pleased with him) was wearing a waistcloth, two leather socks, and a turban. And he (may Allah be pleased with him) was holding the head of his camel and making it enter the water. The people said: O Commander of the Faithful! The army is meeting you and the Jewish scholars of Syria are coming to meet you, and you are in this condition. The narrator says that upon this Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Surely, we are those people whom Allah Almighty has honored with Islam. Therefore, we will never seek honor through anything other than it.
