"عَن معاوية بن خديج قال: بَعَثَنِى عمرو بن العاص إلى عمرَ بْنِ الخطاب بفتحِ الإسكندرية، فقدمتُ المدينةَ في الظُّهر فأنختُ راحلتى ببابِ المسجد ثم دخلت المسجدَ فبينا أنا قاعدٌ فيه، إذ خرجت جاريةٌ من منزلِ عمر بن الخطاب، فقالت: من أنتَ؟ قلت: أنا معاوية بن خديج رسولُ عمرِو بن العاص، فانصرفت عنّى ثم أقبلتْ تشدُّ فقالتْ: قُمْ فأجِبْ أميرَ المؤمنين فتبعتُها، فلما دخلتُ فإذا بعمرِ بن الخطاب يتناولُ رداءَه بإحدَى يديه ويَشُدُّ إِزَارَه بالأخرى، فقال: ما عندك؟ فقلت: خَيْرٌ يا أميرَ المؤمنين فتح اللَّه الإسكندرية، فخرج معى إلى المسجد فقال للمؤذن: أذِّنْ في الناس: الصلاة جامعة، فاجتَمع الناس ثم قال: قُمْ فأخبر النَّاسَ، فقمتُ فأخبرتُهم، ثم صلَّى ودخل منزله واستقبل القبلة فدعا بدعواتٍ ثم جلسَ فقال: يا جَارِيةُ: هل عندك من طعام؟ فأتت بخبزٍ وزيت، فقال: كُلْ فأكلتُ على حياءٍ، ثم قال: كُل فإن المُسافِرَ يحبُّ الطعامَ فلو كنت آكلًا لأكلتُ معك، فأصبت على حياءٍ، ثم قال: يا جاريةُ: هل من تَمْر؟ فأتت بتمرٍ في طبقٍ، فقال: كُل، فأكلتُ على حياءٍ، ثم قال: ماذا قلت يا معاويةُ حين أتيتَ المسجد؟ قال: قلتُ: أميرُ المؤمنين قائِلٌ، قال: بِئْسما قلت -أو بِئْسما ظننتَ- لئن نمتُ النهار لأُضيعنَّ الرعيةَ، ولئن نمتُ الليلَ لأضيعنَّ نفسى، فكيف بالنوم مع هذين يا مُعاوية؟ !

"From Mu'awiyah ibn Khudayj, who said: 'Amr ibn al-'As sent me to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab with the news of the conquest of Alexandria. I arrived in Madinah at midday, made my camel kneel at the door of the mosque, then entered the mosque. While I was sitting in it, a slave girl came out from the house of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: "Who are you?" I said: "I am Mu'awiyah ibn Khudayj, the messenger of 'Amr ibn al-'As." She turned away from me, then came back running and said: "Stand and answer the Commander of the Faithful." I followed her. When I entered, I found 'Umar ibn al-Khattab taking his cloak in one hand and tying his waist-wrap with the other. He said: "What do you have?" I said: "Good news, O Commander of the Faithful: Allah has granted the conquest of Alexandria." He went out with me to the mosque and said to the muezzin: "Call the people: the prayer is gathering." The people gathered, and he said: "Stand and inform the people." I stood and informed them. Then he prayed and entered his house, facing the qiblah, and made supplications. Then he sat and said: "O girl, do you have any food?" She brought bread and olive oil. He said: "Eat." I ate, feeling shy. Then he said: "Eat, for the traveler loves food. If I were to eat, I would eat with you." I ate, feeling shy. Then he said: "O girl, is there any dates?" She brought dates on a tray. He said: "Eat." I ate, feeling shy. Then he said: "What did you say, O Mu'awiyah, when you came to the mosque?" He said: I said: "The Commander of the Faithful is taking a midday nap." He said: "What an evil thing you said, or what an evil thought you had! If I sleep by day, I will neglect the subjects, and if I sleep by night, I will neglect myself. So how can sleep be with these two, O Mu'awiyah?!""
