Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 14337a
"رأَيتُ -فيما يرى النائم- كَأَنى أَنْزِعُ أَرْضًا وردتْ علىَّ غَنَمٌ سُودٌ، وغَنَمٌ عُفْرٌ، فَجاءَ أَبُو بكْرٍ، فَنَزَع ذَنُوبًا أَو دنُوبينِ وفيَهما ضَعفٌ -واللَّهُ يغفِرُ له- ثُمَّ جاءَ عُمرُ (فَنزعَ) فاسْتَحالَتْ غَرْبًا فَملأَ الحوْضَ، وأَرْوى الوارِدةَ، فَلَمْ أر عبْقَرِيًا أحْسنَ نَزْعًا من عُمر، فأَوَّلْتُ أنَّ السُّودَ العربُ، وأَنَّ العُفْر العجمُ".

"I saw, as the sleeper sees, as if I were drawing water from a land, when black sheep and dusky (ʿufr) sheep came to me. Then Abū Bakr came and drew a bucket or two buckets, in which there was weakness – and God forgives him. Then ʿUmar came and drew, and it turned into a large bucket (gharb), and he filled the trough and watered those that came to it. I did not see a genius (ʿabqarī) draw more finely than ʿUmar. So I interpreted the black ones as the Arabs, and the dusky ones as the non-Arabs."
