"عن جُويرية بن أسماءَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بنَ الخَطَّابِ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ فَجَعَل يَجْتَازُ فِى سِكَكِها فيقول: قُمُّوا أفْنيتكم، فَمَرَّ بأَبِى سفيان فقَالَ لَهُ: يا أبا سفيانَ قمُّوا فِنَاءكمْ فقَال: نَعَمْ يا أَمِيرَ المُؤمنينَ، حَتَّى يَجِئَ مُهَّانُنا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُمَرَ اجْتَازَ بَعْد ذَلِك فَرَأَى الفِنَاءَ كَما كَانَ، فَقالَ: يَا أَبا سُفْيانَ! أَلَم آمُرْكَ أَنْ نَقُمُّوا فِنَاءَكم؟ قَال: بَلَى يَا أَمِيرَ المؤمنينَ وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَل إِذَا جَاء مُهَّانُنَا، فَعَلَاه بِالدِّرَّة فَضَرَبَه بَينَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَسَمِعتْ هِنَدٌ فَقَالَتْ: أبْصرِ بهِ، أَمَا وَاللَّه لَرُبَّ يَومٍ لَو ضَرَبْتَهُ لَاقْشَعَر بِكَ بَطْنُ مَكَّةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَر: صَدَقْتِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّه رَفَع بالإسْلام أَقْوامًا وَوَضَعَ بِه آخرِينَ".

"From Juwayriyah ibn Asma' that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came to Makkah and began passing through its streets, saying: 'Level your courtyards.' He passed by Abu Sufyan and said to him: 'O Abu Sufyan, level your courtyard.' He said: 'Yes, O Commander of the Believers, when our menials come.' Then 'Umar passed by again later and saw the courtyard as it was, and said: 'O Abu Sufyan! Did I not order you to level your courtyards?' He said: 'Yes, O Commander of the Believers, and we will do so when our menials come.' So 'Umar struck him with the whip between his ears. Hind heard it and said: 'Look at him! By Allah, there was a day when if you had struck him, the valley of Makkah would have trembled with you.' 'Umar said: 'You have spoken truly, but Allah has raised up peoples through Islam and brought low others.'"
