"عن الحارث بن عمير عَنْ رجلٍ: أن عمر بْنَ الخطاب رَقِى المنبر وجمع الناس فحمدَ اللَّه وأثنى عليه ثم قال: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنى وَمَالِى مِنْ أَكَالٍ يَأكُلُهُ النَّاسُ إلَّا أَنَّ لِى خَالَاتٍ مِنْ بَنِى مَخْزُومٍ فَكنْتُ أسْتَعْذِبُ لَهنَّ الْمَيَاهَ فَيَقْبِضْنَ لِى الْقَبَضَاتِ مِنَ الزَّبِيبِ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّى وَجدْتُ في نَفْسِى شَيْئًا فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُطَأطِئَ مِنْهَا".

"al-Harith ibn 'Umayr, from a man: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab ascended the pulpit and gathered the people. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: 'O people, I have seen myself, and I had no food that people eat except that I had maternal aunts from Bani Makhzum, and I used to draw sweet water for them, and they would take handfuls of raisins for me.' Then he descended from the pulpit. It was said to him: 'What did you intend by this, O Commander of the Faithful?' He said: 'I found something in myself, so I wanted to humble it.'"
