"عن نافع قال: قال عُمَرُ بنُ الخطاب حين أَتَاهُ فَتْحُ القادسيةِ: أعوذ باللَّه أن يُبْقِيَنِى اللَّه بين أظهرِكم حتى تُدركنى أولادُكم من هؤلاءِ، قالوا: وَلم يا أَمِيرَ المؤمنين؟ قال: مَا ظنُّكُمْ بمكرِ العربى، ودهاءِ العجمى إذا اجتمعا في رجلٍ".

"From Nafi' who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said when the conquest of al-Qadisiyyah reached him: I seek refuge in Allah from Allah keeping me among you until your children from these people reach me. They said: And why, O Commander of the Faithful? He said: What do you think of the cunning of the Arab and the shrewdness of the non-Arab when the two are combined in one man?"
