"عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ: كَتَبَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِى وَقَّاصٍ إِلَى عُمَرَ بنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْكُوفَة يَسْتَأذنُهُ فِى بنَاء بَيْت يسْكُنُهُ، فَوَقَعَ فِى كِتَابِهِ: (ابْنِ) مَا يَسْتُركَ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ، وَيقيك مِنَ الْغَيْثَ، فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا دَارُ (بُلغَةٍ ()) ( )، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَهُوَ عَلى مِصْرَ: كُنْ لِرَعِيَّتِكَ كَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ أَمِيرُكَ".

"From Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah, who said: Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas wrote to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, while he was in Kufah, seeking his permission to build a house to live in. In his letter he wrote: (Build) what will shelter you from the sun and protect you from the rain, for the world is a dwelling of provision ( ) ( ). He also wrote to 'Amr ibn al-As, who was in Egypt: Be to your subjects as you would want your ruler to be to you."
