"عن الأصمعى قال: كلَّم النَّاسُ عبد الرحمن بن عوف أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ عمرَ ابن الخطاب في أن يَلِين لهم فإنَّه قد أخافَهم حتى أخاف الأبكار في خدورِهن، فكلمه عبد الرحمن؛ فقال عمر: إنى لا أجِدُ لهم إلَّا ذَلك، واللَّه! لو أنَّهُمْ يعلمون ما لهم عندى من الرَّأفَةِ والرحمةِ والشفقةِ لأخذوا ثوْبى عن عَاتِقى".

"From al-Asma'i who said: The people asked 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf to speak to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that he should be gentle with them, for he had frightened them to the point that he frightened the virgins in their chambers. 'Abd al-Rahman spoke to him, and 'Umar said: I find nothing for them but that. By Allah! If they knew what they have with me of compassion, mercy and kindness, they would take my garment from my shoulder."
