"عن سفيان بن وهب الخولانى قال: شهدت عمر بن الخطاب بالجابية، فحمد اللَّه وأثنى عليه بما هو أهله، ثم قال: أما بعدُ فإن هذا الفئ أفاءه اللَّه عليكم، الرَّفيع فيه وَالْوَضِيعُ بمنزلةٍ، ليس أحد أحق به من أحد، إلا ما كان من هذين الحيَّيْن: لخمٍ وجُذام، فإنى غير قاسمٍ لهم شيئا، فقام رجلٌ من لخم فقال: يا بن الخطاب أنشدك اللَّه في العدلِ، فقال: أفما يريدُ ابن الخطاب العدل والسوية؟ ! واللَّه إنى لأعلم لو كانت الهجرة بصنعاء ما خرج إليها من لخمٍ وجذام إلا القليل، فلا أجعلُ من تكلف السفر وابتاع الظهرَ بمنزلة قوم إنما قاتَلُوا في ديارهم، فقام أبو حُدَيْرٍ فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين: إن كان اللَّه ساق إلينا الهجرة في ديارنا فنصرناها وصدَّقناها، أفذاك الذى يُذهب حقنا في الإسلام؟ فقال عمر: واللَّه لأقسمن لكم ثلاث مرات، ثم قسم بين الناس فأصاب كل رجل نصفَ دينار، وإذا كانت معه امرأته أعطاه دينارا، وإذا كان وحده أعطاه نصف دينار، ثم دعا ابن قاطورا صاحبَ الأرض فقال: أخبرنى ما يكفى الرجل من القوتِ في اليوم والشهرِ، فأتى بالمُدِّ والقسط، فقال: يكفيه هذا المُدُّ في الشهر، وقسطُ زيت، وقسطُ خلٍّ، فأمر عمر بِمُدَّىْ قمح فطُحِنا ثم عُجِنا، ثم أدهَهَمها بقسطين زيتًا، ثم أجلس عليهما ثلاثين رجلًا فكانت كِفَافَ شبعهم، ثم أخذ عمر المُدَّيْنِ والقسط بِيساره، ثم قال: اللهم لا حِلَّ لأَحَد أن ينقِصَهُمَا (بعدى، اللهم فمن نقصهما فانقص من عمره) ".

"It was narrated from Sufyan ibn Wahb al-Khawlani that he said: 'I witnessed 'Umar ibn al-Khattab at al-Jabiyah. He praised Allah and extolled Him as is due to Him, then said: As for what follows, this fay' which Allah has bestowed upon you, the high and the low in it are on equal footing, and no one has more right to it than another, except what belongs to these two tribes: Lakhm and Judham. I will not divide anything for them.' A man from Lakhm stood up and said: 'O son of al-Khattab, I implore you by Allah regarding justice!' He said: 'Does Ibn al-Khattab not want justice and equality? By Allah, I know that if emigration had been to San'a, few of Lakhm and Judham would have left for it. I will not place those who undertook the journey and bought mounts on the same level as a people who only fought in their own lands.' Then Abu Hudayr stood up and said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, if Allah brought emigration to us in our own lands, and we supported it and affirmed it, is that what takes away our right in Islam?' 'Umar said: 'By Allah, I will divide it for you three times.' Then he distributed among the people, so each man received half a dinar, and if he had a wife with him, he gave him a dinar, and if he was alone, he gave him half a dinar. Then he called Ibn Qatur, the owner of the land, and said: 'Tell me what amount of food suffices a man per day and per month.' He brought a mudd and a qist, and said: 'A mudd of this suffices him per month, along with a qist of oil and a qist of vinegar.' So 'Umar ordered two mudds of wheat to be ground, then kneaded, then he moistened them with two qists of oil. He then seated thirty men on them, and it was just enough to satisfy them. Then 'Umar took the two mudds and the qist in his left hand and said: 'O Allah, no one is permitted to diminish them after me. O Allah, whoever diminishes them, diminish his lifespan.'"
