"عن عبد اللَّه الرومى قال: دخلت على أم طلقٍ بيتَها فإذا سقف بَيْتِهَا قصيرٌ، فقلت: ما أقصر سقف بيتك يا أمَّ طلقٍ، قالت: يا بنى إن عمر بن الخطاب كتب إلى عماله أن لا تطيلوا بناءكم، فإن شرٌّ يأتِيكُمْ يوم تطيلون بناءكم".

"'Abd Allah al-Rumi said: I entered upon Umm Talq in her house, and the roof of her house was low. I said: How low is the roof of your house, O Umm Talq! She said: My son, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to his governors: Do not lengthen your buildings, for evil will come upon you on the day you lengthen your buildings."
