"عن ثعلبة بن أَبى مالك قال: رأيت عمرَ بن الخطاب مَرَّ بقباء يوم السبت ومعه نفر من المهاجرين والأنصار، فإذا أناس من أهل الشامِ يُصلُّون في مسجد قُبَاءَ حُجَّاجًا، قال: مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالُوا: مِنْ حِمْصَ، قال: هَلْ كَانَ من مُغْرِبَةٍ خَبَرٌ؟ قالوا: مَوْتُ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ يَوْمَ رَحَلْنَا مِنْ حِمْصَ، فاسْتَرْجَعَ عمرُ مرارًا وَنَكَّسَ وأَكثر الترحُّمَ عليه وقال: كَانَ وَاللَّه سَدَّادًا لِنُحُورِ الْعَدُوِّ، مَيْمُونَ النَّقِيبَة، فقال له على بن أَبى طالب: فَلِمَ عَزَلْتَهُ؟ قال؟ عَزَلْتُهُ لِبَذْلِ الْمَالِ لأَهْلِ (الشَّرَف) وَذَوِى اللِّسَانِ، قال على: فَكُنْتَ تَعْزِلُهُ عَنِ التَّبْذِيرِ فِى الْمَالِ وَتَتْرُكُهُ عَلَى جُنْدِهِ، قال: لَمْ يَرْضَ، قال: فَهَلَّا بَلَوْتَهُ؟ !

"From Tha'labah ibn Abi Malik, who said: I saw 'Umar ibn al-Khattab pass by Quba' on a Saturday, and with him a group of the Muhajirun and the Ansar. There were people from the people of Syria praying in the Mosque of Quba' as pilgrims. He said: Who are these people? They said: From Homs. He said: Has there been any news from the distant lands? They said: The death of Khalid ibn al-Walid on the day we departed from Homs. 'Umar said 'Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji'un' several times, lowered his head, and invoked much mercy upon him, and said: By Allah, he was a firm barrier against the throats of the enemy, blessed in his command. 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said to him: Why did you dismiss him? He said: I dismissed him for spending wealth on the people of nobility and eloquent tongues. 'Ali said: You would dismiss him from squandering wealth and leave him over his army? He said: He was not content. He said: Then why did you not test him?!"
