"عن أَسْلَم قَالَ: مَا شَعَرْنا لَيْلَةً ونَحْنُ مَعَ عُمَرَ فإذَا هُو قَدْ رَحَلَ روَاحِلَنَا وَأَخَذَ رَاحِلتَهُ فَرَحَلَهَا، فَلَمَّا أَيْقظنَا ارْتَجَز وقَالَ: لَا تَأخُذ اللَّيْل عَلَيْك بالْهمّ... وَالْبَس لَهُ القَميصَ وَاعْتَمّ وكُن شَريك رَافعٍ وأَسَلَمْ... ثُمَّ اخْدِمِ الأَقَوَامَ كَيمْا تُخَدمْ فوثَبْنَا إلَيه وَقد فَرَغَ مِن رَحْلِهِ ورَواحِلِنَا وَلمَ يَوَدَّ أَنْ يَوقِظَهُم وَهُم نِيامٌ".

"Aslam said: We did not notice one night, while we were with 'Umar, that he had saddled our mounts and taken his own and saddled it. When he woke us, he recited verses and said: 'Do not take the night upon yourself with worry... wear for it the shirt and wrap yourself... and serve the people so that you may be served.' We leapt up to him when he had finished saddling his own mount and ours, and he had not wished to wake them while they were sleeping."
