"عَنْ عبد الرحمنِ بنِ حنظلَة الزُّرَقى، عن مولَى لقريشٍ يقال له ابنُ مِرْسَى: قَال: كنتُ جَالِسًا عند عُمر بنِ الخطابِ، فلما صلَّى الظُّهْرَ قالَ: يَا يَرفأُ هَلُهمَّ الكتَاب - لكتابٍ كانَ كتَبهُ في شأنِ العَمَّة يسألُ عنها ويستخبرُ فيها - فأتاهُ بهِ يرْفَأ، فدعا بِتَورٍ أَوْ قَدحٍ فيهِ ماء فَمَحَا ذلك الكتابَ فِيهِ، ثم قالَ: لوْ رَضِيَكِ الله لأقرَّكِ لوْ رَضيَك الله لأقرك".

"From 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hanzalah al-Zuraqi, from a freedman of Quraysh called Ibn Mirsa, who said: I was sitting with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and when he had prayed the noon prayer, he said: O Yarfa, bring the letter, the letter he had written concerning the paternal aunt, asking about her and seeking information regarding her. Yarfa brought it to him, and he called for a bowl or cup containing water, and he erased that letter in it. Then he said: If Allah had approved of you, He would have kept you. If Allah had approved of you, He would have kept you."
