"عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الدُّؤَلِىِّ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا عُمَرُ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ قَائِلٌ في ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ إِذَا أَعْرابِيَّةٌ فَتَوَسَّمَتِ النَّاسَ فَجَاءَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّى امْرَأَةٌ مِسْكِينَةٌ وَلِى بَنُونَ، وَإِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمنِينَ عُمَر بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّد بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ سَاعِيًا فَلَمْ يُعْطِنا، فَلَعَلَّكَ -يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّه- أَنْ تَشْفَعَ لَنَا إِلَيْهِ. فَصَاحَ بِيَرْفَأ أَنِ ادْعُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ أَنْجَحُ لِحَاجَتِى أَنْ تَقُومَ مَعِى إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: إِنَّه سَيَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّه (فَجَاءَهُ يَرْفَأ) ( ) فَقَالَ: أَجِبْ، فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ، فَاسْتَحْيَتِ الْمَرْأةُ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللَّه مَا آلُو أَنْ أَخْتَارَ خِيَارَكُم، كَيْفَ أَنْتَ قَائِلٌ إِذَا سَأَلَكَ اللَّه تَعَالَى عَنْ هَذِهِ؟ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ اللَّه بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ فَصَدَّقْنَاهُ وَاتَّبعْنَاهُ فَعَمِلَ بِمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّه تَعَالَى، فَجَعَلَ، الصَّدَقَةَ لأَهْلِهَا مِنَ المَسَاكِينِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّه -تَعالَى- عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَخْلفَ اللَّه أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَعَمِلَ بِسُنَّتِهِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّه، ثُمَّ اسْتَخْلَفَنِى فَلَمْ آلُ أَنْ أخْتَارَ خِيَارَكُم، إِنْ بَعَثْتُكَ فَأَدِّ إِلَيْهَا صَدَقَةَ الْعَامِ وَعَامِ أَوَّلَ، وَمَا أَدْرِى لَعَلى لَا أَبْعَثُكَ، ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهَا بِجَمَلٍ فَأعْطَاهَا دَقِيقًا وَزَيْتًا فَقَال: خُذِى هَذَا حَتَّى تَلْحَقِينَا بِخَيْبَرَ، فَإِنَّا نُرِيدُهَا، فَأَتَتْهُ بِخَيْبَرَ فَدَعَا لَهَا بِجَمَلَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: خُذِى هَذَا فَإِنَّ فِيه بَلَاغًا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكمْ مُحَمَّدُ (بنُ مَسْلَمَةَ) () فَقَدْ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكِ حقك ( ) لِلْعَامِ وَعَامِ أَوَّلَ".

"On the authority of 'Umayr ibn Salamah al-Du'ali, who said: While Umar was at midday resting in the shade of a tree, a Bedouin woman came, having looked carefully at the people, and came to him and said: 'I am a poor woman and I have children, and the Commander of the Believers, Umar ibn al-Khattab, had sent Muhammad ibn Maslamah as a collector, but he did not give us anything. Perhaps you, may Allah have mercy on you, would intercede for us with him.' He called out to Yarfa: 'Summon Muhammad ibn Maslamah.' She said: 'It is more successful for my need that you go with me to him.' He said: 'He will do it, if Allah wills.' (So Yarfa came to him) () and said: 'Come!' He came and said: 'Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Believers.' The woman felt shy before him. Umar said: 'By Allah, I do not fail to choose the best of you. How will you answer when Allah the Exalted asks you about this woman?' Muhammad's eye filled with tears. Umar said: 'Allah sent us His Prophet ﷺ, and we believed him and followed him, and he acted according to what Allah the Exalted commanded him, giving the charity to its rightful recipients among the poor, until Allah the Exalted took him in that state. Then Allah made Abu Bakr his successor, and he acted according to his sunnah until Allah took him. Then he appointed me as successor, and I do not fail to choose the best of you. If I send you, then pay her the charity of this year and the year before, and I do not know, perhaps I will not send you.' Then he called for a camel for her and gave her flour and oil, and said: 'Take this until you reach us at Khaybar, for we intend to go there.' She came to him at Khaybar, and he called for two other camels for her and said: 'Take this, for it is sufficient for you until Muhammad (ibn Maslamah) () comes to you, for I have ordered him to give you your right ( ) for this year and the year before.'"
