"عَنِ (ابْنِ) الزُّبيْرِ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ: إِنَّ للَّه عِبَادًا يُمِيتُونَ البَاطِلَ بِهَجْرِهِ، وَيُحيُونَ الحق بِذِكْرِهِ، رَغِبُوا فَرَغَّبُوا، وَرَهِبُوا فَرَهَّبُوا، إِنْ خَافُوا فَلَا يَأمَنُونَ، أَبْصَرُوا مِنَ اليَقِينِ (مَا لَمْ) يُعَاينُوا، فَخَلَطُوهُ بِمَا لم يزايلوه، أَخْلَصَهم الْخَوْفُ، فَكَانُوا يَهْجُرُونَ بمَا يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْهُمْ لِمَا يَبْقَى لَهُمْ، الحَيَاةُ عَلَيْهِمْ نِعْمَةٌ، وَالْمَوْتُ لَهُمْ كَرَامَة، فَزُوِّجُوا الْحُورَ العِينَ وَأُخْدِمُوا الْوَلدَانَ المُخَلَّدِينَ".

"On the authority of Ibn al-Zubayr, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: Indeed Allah has servants who cause falsehood to die by abandoning it, and give life to truth by remembering it. They desired, so they made others desire; they feared, so they made others fear. If they fear, they do not feel safe. They saw from certainty what they had not witnessed, so they mixed it with what they had not separated from. Fear purified them, so they abandoned what will be cut off from them for what will remain for them. Life for them is a blessing, and death for them is an honour. So they were married to the wide-eyed houris, and were served by the immortal youths."
