Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2468b
"عَنْ سِمَاكٍ قَالَ: هَجَا النَّجَاشِىُّ وَهُوَ (قَيْسُ) بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَالْحَارثىُّ بَنى الْعَجْلَانِ فَاسْتَعْدَوْا عَلَيْهِ عمر بن الْخَطَّابِ فقال: مَا قَالَ فِيكُمْ؟ فَأَنْشَدُوهُ: إِذا اللَّهُ عَادَى أَهْلَ لُؤْمٍ وَدَقَةٍ... فعَادى بَنِى الْعَجْلَان رَهْطَ ابْنَ مقْبِلٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنْ كَانَ مَظلُومًا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ظالِمًا لَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لَهُ، قَالُوا: وَقَدْ قَالَ أَيْضًا: قَبِيلَتُهُ لَا يَغْدِرُونَ بذِمَّةٍ... وَلَا يَظلِمُونَ النَّاسَ حَبَّةَ خَرْدَلٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَيْتَ آلَ الْخَطَّابِ هَكَذَا، قَالُوا: وَقَدْ قَالَ: وَلَا يَرِدُونَ الْمَاءَ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً... إِذَا صَدَرَ الْوُرَّادُ عَنْ كُلِّ مَنْهَلٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ذَاكَ أقَل لِلزِّحَامِ، قَالُوا: وَقَدْ قَالَ: تَعَافُ الْكِلَابُ الضَّارِيَاتُ لُحُومَهُمْ... وَيَأكُلْنَ مِنْ كَعْبٍ (وَعَوْفٍ وَنَهْشَلٍ) فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: احْرَزَ الْقَوْمُ مَوْتَاهُمْ وَلَمْ يُضَيَّعُوهُمْ".

"From Simak, who said: al-Najashi, who is (Qays) ibn 'Umar, satirized Banu al-Ajlan and al-Harithi, so they asked 'Umar ibn al-Khattab for redress against him. He said: What did he say about you? They recited to him: When Allah shows enmity toward a people of baseness and lowness... so He shows enmity toward the family of Ibn Muqbil, Banu al-Ajlan. 'Umar said: If he was wronged, he will be answered; if he was an oppressor, he will not be answered. They said: He also said: Their tribe does not betray a covenant... and they do not wrong people by the weight of a mustard seed. 'Umar said: I wish the family of al-Khattab were like this. They said: He also said: And they do not come to water except in the evening... when the drovers return from every watering place. 'Umar said: That is less crowded. They said: He also said: The biting dogs shun their flesh... and they eat from Ka'b and 'Awf and Nahshal. 'Umar said: The people have protected their dead and have not neglected them."
