"عن أَبى بَكْرٍ أحمدَ بنِ يَحْيَى البِلَاذُرى قَالَ: كَان ضِرَارُ بنُ الخَطَّابِ بن مِرْدَاسٍ الفِهْرِى بالسَّرَاةِ فَوثَبَتْ دَوْسٌ عَلَيه لِيَقتُلُوه، فَسَعَى حَتَّى دَخَلَ بَيْتَ امرأةٍ يُقالُ لَها أُمُّ جمَيلٍ، وَأتْبَعَه رَجُلٌ ليضربهُ فَوَقَعَ ذُبَابُ السَّيف عَلَى البَابِ، وَقَامَتْ فِى وجُوهِهِم فَذبَّتْهم وَنَادَتْ قَوْمَها فَمَنَعُوه لَهَا، فَلَمَّا استُخْلِفَ عُمرُ بنُ الخَطَّابِ ظنت أَنَّهُ أخُوهُ، فَأَنَتِ المَدِينةَ، فَلمَّا كَلَّمَتْهُ عَرَفَ القِصَّةَ، فَقَالَ: لَسْتُ بأَخيهِ إلَّا فِى الإِسلَام، وَهُو غَازٍ بالشَّامِ، وَقَد عَرَفْتُ مِنَّتَكِ عَلَيْه، فَأَعْطَاهَا عَلَى أَنَّها بِنْتُ السَّبَيل".

"From Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Baladhuri who said: Dirar ibn al-Khattab ibn Mirdas al-Fihri was in al-Sarah when the Daws rose against him to kill him. He hurried until he entered the house of a woman called Umm Jamil, and a man followed him to strike him, but the edge of the sword fell on the door, and she stood in their faces and repelled them, and called her people, who protected him for her. When 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was appointed caliph, she thought he was his brother, so she came to Madinah. When she spoke to him, he recognized the story and said: 'I am not his brother except in Islam, and he is campaigning in al-Sham, and I know your favor upon him.' And he gave her something on the grounds that she was a wayfarer."
