'Umar sent for the bishop, and he was questioning him while I stood over them shading them from the sun. He said to him: 'Do you find us in your Book?' He said: 'We find your description and your deeds.' He said: 'And what do you find of me?' He said: 'I find you a hard horn.' He said: 'Umar's face flushed, and he said: A hard horn?' He said: 'A strong trustworthy one.' He said: 'It seemed he was pleased with that.' He said: 'And what do you find after me?' He said: 'A righteous successor who gives preference to his relatives.' 'Umar said: May Allah have mercy on Ibn 'Affan. He said: 'And what do you find after him?' He said: 'A split from iron.' He said: 'In 'Umar's hand was something he was turning over, and he threw it away and said: O Dafrah! twice or thrice. He said: Do not say that, O Commander of the Faithful, for he is a Muslim caliph and a righteous man, but he will be made caliph while the sword is drawn and blood is spilled.' He said: 'Then he turned to me and said: The prayer.'
