"عن عمرَ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِشَيْخٍ من أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ يسألُ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ النَّاسِ، فقال: مَا أَنْصفْنَاكَ؛ كُنَّا أَخَذْنَا مِنْكَ الْجِزْيَةَ فِى شَبِيبَتِكَ، ثُمَّ ضَيَّعْنَاكَ فِى كِبَرِكَ! ثُمَّ أَجْرَى عليه من بيتِ المالِ ما يُصْلِحُهُ".

"From 'Umar, that he passed by an elderly man from among the People of the Covenant (dhimmah) who was begging at people's doors. He said: 'We have not been fair to you: we took the jizyah from you in your youth, then we neglected you in your old age!' Then he assigned to him from the public treasury what would sustain him."
