وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثُونَا عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ - وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ:
لَمَّا كُنَّا بِالشَّامِ أَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ بِهَذَا ؟ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مَاءَ بِئْرٍ وَلَا مَاءَ سَمَاءٍ أَطْيَبَ مِنْهُ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مِنْ بَيْتِ هَذِهِ الْعَجُوزِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ. فَلَمَّا تَوَضَّأَ أَتَاهَا، فَقَالَ: أَيَّتُهَا الْعَجُوزُ أَسْلِمِي تَسْلَمِي، بَعَثَ اللهُ بِالْحَقِّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ. قَالَ: فَكَشَفَتْ رَأْسَهَا فَإِذَا مِثْلُ الثَّغَامَةِ، قَالَتْ: وَأَنَا أَمُوتُ الْآنَ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ

When we were in Syria, I brought ʿUmar some water and he performed ablution with it. He said: "Where did you get this from?" I had never seen well water or rain water better than it. He said: I said: "From the house of this old Christian woman." When he had finished his ablution, he went to her and said: "O old woman, accept Islam and you will be safe. Allah has sent Muḥammad ﷺ with the truth." He said: She uncovered her head, and it was like the thaghāmah plant (white). She said: "And am I to die now?" He said: ʿUmar said: "O Allah, bear witness."
