"عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ الحَدَثَانِ قَالَ: قَدِمَ بَرِيدُ مَلِك الرُّومِ عَلَى عُمَرَ ابْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَاسْتَقْرَضَتِ امْرَأَةُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ دِينَارًا فَاشْتَرَتْ بِهِ عِطرًا وَجَعَلَتْهُ فِى قَوَارِيرَ، وَبَعَثَتْ بِهِ مَعَ الْبَرِيدِ إِلَى امْرأَةِ مَلكِ الرُّومِ، فَلْمَّا أَتَاهَا فَرَّغَتْهُنَّ وَمَلأَتْهُنَّ جَوَاهِرَ وَقَالَتْ: اذهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى امْرأَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ (فَلَمَّا أَتَاهَا فَرَّغَتْهُنَّ على البِسَاطِ، فدَخَلَ عُمَرُ بن الخطاب)، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِالْخَبَرِ، فَأَخَذَ عُمَرُ الْجَوَاهِرَ فَبَاعَهُ وَرَفَعَ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ دِينَارًا، وَجَعَلَ مَا بَقِى مِن ذَلِكَ فِى بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ".

"From Malik ibn Aws ibn al-Hadathan, who said: The envoy of the king of the Romans came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. The wife of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab borrowed a dinar and bought perfume with it, and put it in glass flasks, and sent it with the envoy to the wife of the king of the Romans. When it reached her, she emptied them and filled them with jewels, and said: Take this to the wife of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. (When it reached her, she emptied them onto the cloth, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab entered.) He said: What is this? She informed him of the news, so 'Umar took the jewels and sold them, gave his wife one dinar, and placed the rest in the treasury of the Muslims."
