"عَنْ إبراهِيمَ النَّخَعِىِّ قَالَ: كَانَ بالْكُوفَةِ رَجُلٌ يَطْلُبُ كُتُبَ دَانْيَال وَذَلكَ الضَّريبَةَ، وَجَاءَ فِيه كِتَابٌ مِنْ عُمَرَ بْن الخَطَّابِ أَنْ يُرفَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ عَلاهُ بالدِّرَّة ثُمَّ جَعَل يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِ: {الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ {الْغَافِلِينَ} قَالَ: فَعَرفتُ مَا يُرِيدُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤمِنينَ: دَعْنِى فَوَاللَّه لَا أَدَعُ عِنْدِى شَيْئًا مِنْ تِلْكَ الْكُتُبِ إِلَّا أَحْرَقْتُهُ؛ فَتَرَكَهُ".

"Ibrahim al-Nakha'i said: In Kufa there was a man who sought the books of Daniel, and that was the tax. A letter came from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that he be brought to him. When he came before 'Umar, 'Umar struck him with the whip, then began to recite to him: {Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Clear Book} until he reached {the unaware}. He said: So I understood what he intended, and I said: O Commander of the Faithful, leave me. By Allah, I will not keep with me any of those books except that I burn it. So he left him."
