"عن عمر قال: نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ صُهَيْبٌ! ! لَوْ لَمْ يَخَف اللَّه لَمْ يَعْصِه "أورده أبُو عُبيْدٍ فِى الغَرِيبِ، وَلَمْ يَسُق إِسْنَادَهُ وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ المتَأَخِّرُونَ مِنَ الحفَّاظِ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يقِفُوا لَهُ عَلَى إِسْنَاد، وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرْتُهُ هُنَا -وإِن كَانَ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَرْط الكِتَابِ- لِشُهْرَتِهِ وَلأُنَبِّهَ عَلَيْه أَنَّ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ أَوْرَدَهُ، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدٍ مِنَ الصَّدْرِ الأَوَّلِ قَرِيبُ الْعَهدِ، أَدْرَكَ أَتْبَاعَ التَّابِعِينَ، وَالظَّاهِرُ أَنَّهُ وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِ بِإِسْنَادٍ، وَلَمْ أَذْكُرْ فِى هَذَا الكِتَاب شَيْئًا لَمْ أَقِفْ عَلَى إِسْنَاده سِوَى هَذَا فَقَطْ".

"From 'Umar, who said: "What an excellent servant Suhayb is! If he did not fear Allah, he would not disobey Him." Abu 'Ubayd related it in al-Gharib, without giving its chain of narration. Later scholars of hadith have mentioned that they did not find a chain for it, and I have mentioned it here, although it is not among the conditions of this book, because of its fame, and to draw attention to the fact that Abu 'Ubaydah transmitted it, and Abu 'Ubayd was from the early generation, close in time, having met the followers of the Successors, and it is apparent that he received it with a chain. I have not mentioned in this book anything whose chain I have not verified, except this alone."
