"عَن عثمانَ بن محمد الأخنسِ قال: اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ سَعيدَ بن عَامِرِ بنِ حِذْيَمِ الجُمَحِى عَلَى حِمْص، وَكَانَ يُصِيبُهُ غَشْيَةٌ وَهُوَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَى أَصْحَابهِ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمُرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ، فَسَألَهُ في قَدْمَةٍ قَدمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حِمْصَ، فَقَالَ: يَا سعيدُ مَا الَّذِى يُصِيبُكَ؟ أَبِكَ جِنَّةٌ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَاللَّه يَا أَمِيرَ المؤْمِنِين، وَلَكِنى كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَضَرَ خُبَيْبًا حِينَ قُتِلَ: وَسَمِعْتُ دَعْوَتَهُ، فَوَاللَّه مَا خَطَرَتْ عَلَى قَلْبِى وَأَنَا فِى مَجْلِسٍ إِلّا غُشِىَ عَلَىَّ، فَزَادَتْهُ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ خَيْرًا".

"'Uthman ibn Muhammad al-Akhnas said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Sa'id ibn 'Amir ibn Hidhyam al-Jumahi over Homs, and he used to suffer a fainting spell while among his companions. This was mentioned to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, so he asked him about it when he came to him from Homs. He said: 'O Sa'id, what affects you? Do you have madness?' He said: 'No, by Allah, O Commander of the Faithful, but I was among those who attended Khubayb when he was killed. I heard his supplication. By Allah, whenever it comes to my mind while I am in a gathering, I faint.' So this increased his standing with 'Umar."
