"عن مالك بن دينارٍ قال: أول من نَجَّدَ بيتا بالبصرة الخُضَيراءُ امرأةُ مجاشع بن مسعود السلمى، فكتب عمر بن الخطاب إلى زوجها: أن الخضيراء نَجَّدت بيتًا كما تُنَجَّدُ الكعبةُ، فأقسم عليكَ إن جاء كِتابِى هذا لما قمْتَ فهتكتَه، ففعل".

"Malik ibn Dinar said: The first to decorate a room in Basra was al-Khudayra', the wife of Mujashi' ibn Mas'ud al-Sulami. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to her husband: 'Al-Khudayra' has decorated a room as the Ka'bah is decorated. I swear to you, if this letter of mine reaches you, that you rise and tear it down.' He did so."
