"عن زيد بن أسلم قال: كتب عمر بن الخطاب إلى عمرو بن العاص يسأله عن ركوب البحر، فكتب عمرو إليه يقول: دُودٌ على عُودٍ، فَإِنْ انْكَسَر العُود هلك الدُّودُ، فكره عمر حَمْلَهم فِى البحْر".

"Zayd ibn Aslam said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to 'Amr ibn al-'As asking him about riding the sea. 'Amr wrote back to him saying: 'It is like a worm on a stick; if the stick breaks, the worm perishes.' So 'Umar disliked carrying them by sea.'"
