"عَنْ أَبِى سَعيدٍ الأَعْوَرِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ قَادِمٌ سَأَلَهُ عن النَّاسِ، فَقَدِمَ قَادِمٌ فَسَأَلَهُ مِنْ أَيْنَ؟ فَقَالَ: مِنْ الطَّائِفِ قَالَ: فَمَهْ؟ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ بِهَا شَيْخًا يَقُولُ: تَرَكْتَ أَبَاكَ مُرْعِشَةً يَدَاهُ... وَأُمَّكَ لَا تَسِيغُ لَهَا شَرَابًا إِذَا نَغَبَ الْحَمَامُ بِبَطْنِ وَجٍّ... عَلَى بَيْضَاتِهِ ذَكَرَ كِلابًا قَالَ: وَمَنْ كلَابٌ؟ قَالَ: ابْنٌ للِشَّيْخ كَانَ غَازِيًا، قَالَ: فَكَتبَ عُمَرُ فِيهِ فَأَقْفلَه".

"Narrated from Abu Sa'id al-A'war: Whenever a traveler came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, he would ask him about the people. A traveler came, and he asked him: 'Where are you from?' He said: 'From al-Ta'if.' He said: 'And what then?' He said: 'I saw there an old man saying:\nYou left your father, his hands trembling, and your mother cannot swallow any drink for her...\nWhen the dove coos in the bottom of the valley over its eggs, it remembers Kilab.'\nHe said: 'And who is Kilab?' He said: 'A son of the old man, who was a warrior.' He said: 'So 'Umar wrote concerning him, then sent him back.'"
