حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ قَالَ
قَالَ عُمَرُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «تَمَنَّوْا» فَجَعَلَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ يَتَمَنَّى شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «لَكِنِّي أَتَمَنَّى بَيْتًا مَمْلُوءًا رِجَالًا مِثْلَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ» فَقَالُوا لَهُ مَا أَلَوْتَ الْإِسْلَامَ خَيْرًا قَالَ «ذَلِكَ أَرَدْتُ»
