"عَن ابن أَبى عوف وعبد العزيز بن يعقوب الماجشون قالا: قال عمر ابن الخطاب لمتمم بن نويرة: يرحم اللَّه زيد بن الخطاب لو كنت أقدر أَنْ أقول الشعر لبكيته كما بكيت أخاك، فقال متمم: يا أمير المؤمنين لو قتل أخى يوم اليمامة كما قتل أخوك ما بكيتُ أبدا، فأبصر عمر وتعزَّى عن أخيه، وقد كان حزن حزنا شديدا، وكان عمر يقول: إن الصبا لتهب فتأتينى بريح زيد بن الحطاب، قيل لابن عوف: ما كان عمر يقول الشعر؟ قال: لا ولا بيتا واحدا".

"Ibn Abi 'Awf and 'Abd al-Aziz ibn Ya'qub al-Majishun said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said to Mutammim ibn Nuwayrah: 'May Allah have mercy on Zayd ibn al-Khattab. If I were able to compose poetry, I would have wept for him as you wept for your brother.' Mutammim said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, if my brother had been killed on the Day of Yamamah as your brother was killed, I would never have wept.' 'Umar looked at him and consoled himself for his brother, although he had been deeply grieved. 'Umar used to say: 'The east wind blows and brings me the scent of Zayd ibn al-Khattab.' It was said to Ibn 'Awf: 'Did 'Umar compose poetry?' He said: 'No, not even a single verse.'"
