Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2662b
"عن الشعبى قال: كتبَ عمرُ بنُ الخطابِ إِلى عَمَّارِ بنِ ياسرٍ: أما بعدُ فإنَّها جاءتْنَا أَشْرِبَةٌ من قبلِ الشَّامِ كأنَّها طلَاء الإِبِلِ، قد طُبخَ حتى ذهبَ ثُلُثَاه الذى فيه خبثُ الشيطانِ وريح جُنُونه، وبقى ثُلثُه فَاصْطَبغْه وأمُرْ من قِبَلَك أن يَصْطَبِغُوه".

"From al-Sha'bi who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to 'Ammar ibn Yasir: To proceed, drinks came to us from the direction of al-Sham that were like the talaa' of camels, boiled until two-thirds of it was gone, the part in which is the filth of Satan and the stench of his madness. A third remained, so dip in it, and command those under your authority to dip in it."
