"عن عبد اللَّه بن قيس أو ابن أَبى قيس قال: كنت فيمن تَلَقَّى عُمَرَ مَعَ أَبِى عُبَيْدَةَ مَقْدَمَهُ الشَّامَ، فبينا عُمَرُ يسيرُ إِذ لَقِيَهُ الْمُقَلِّسُونَ من أَهْلِ أَذْرِعَاتٍ بالسيوفِ والريحانِ، فقال: مَهْ رُدُّوهُمْ وَامنعوهُمْ فقال أبو عبيدةَ: يا أمير المؤمنين هَذِهِ سُنَّةُ الْعَجَمِ، فإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَمْنَعْهُمْ مِنْهَا يَرَوْا أَنَّ فِى نَفْسِكَ نَقْضًا لِعَهْدِهِم، فقالَ عمرُ: دَعُوهُمْ (عُمَرُ وآلُ عُمَرَ) فِى طَاعَةِ أَبِى عُبَيْدَةَ".

"'Abd Allah ibn Qays or Ibn Abi Qays said: I was among those who met 'Umar with Abu 'Ubaydah on his arrival in Syria. While 'Umar was travelling, the muqallisun of the people of Adhri'at met him with swords and basil. He said: Stop! Turn them back and prevent them. Abu 'Ubaydah said: O Commander of the Faithful, this is the custom of the non-Arabs. If you prevent them from it, they will think you harbour a breach of their covenant. 'Umar said: Leave them ('Umar and the family of 'Umar) in obedience to Abu 'Ubaydah."
