"عَنْ عُمَرَ () بْنِ عُمَرَ المخْزُومِىِّ عَن أَبِيهِ قَالَ: نَادَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةُ! فَلَمَّا (اجْتَمَعَ) ( ) النَّاسُ وَكَثُرُوا صَعِدَ المِنْبرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّه وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَصَلَّى عَلَى نَبِيِّه، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِى أَرْعَى عَلَى خَالَات لِى مِن بَنِى مَخزُومٍ فَيَقبِضْن لِى القَبْضَةَ مِنَ التَّمْرِ أَو الزَّبِيبِ ( )، فَأَظَلُّ يَوْمِى وأىَّ يَوْمٍ؟ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ: يَا أَميرَ الْمُؤمِنِينَ: مَا زِدْتَ عَلَى أَنْ قَمَّأتَ نَفْسَكَ -يَعْنِى: عِبْتَ- فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ يَا بْنَ عَوْفٍ! إِنِّى خَلَوْتُ فَحَدَّثَتْنِى نَفْسِى قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَمَنْ ذَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْكَ؟ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُعَرِّفَها نَفْسَهَا".

"From Umar ibn Umar al-Makhzumi, from his father, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab called out: Come together for the prayer! When the people gathered and became many, he ascended the pulpit, praised Allah and extolled Him as is befitting of Him, and sent blessings upon His Prophet. Then he said: O people! I remember myself herding for my maternal uncles from Bani Makhzum, and they would take a handful of dates or raisins for me, and I would spend my day... and what a day! Then he descended. 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf said to him: O Commander of the Faithful, you have done nothing but belittle yourself, meaning: you have disparaged yourself. He said: Woe to you, O son of 'Awf! I was alone and my soul spoke to me, saying: You are the Commander of the Faithful, so who is better than you? So I wanted to make it know its own self."
