"عَنْ جرير () جواد بن نشيط قال: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَأَتَاه رجُل مُسَمَّنٌ مُخَصَّب في العَيْن فَقَالَ: يَا أَميرَ المُؤمِنين: هَلَكْتُ وَهَلَكَ عِيَالِى، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يجئ أَحَدُهم كَأَنَّه (حَمِيت) يَقول: هَلَكْتُ وَهَلَكَ عِيالِى، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ عُمَرُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ نَفْسهِ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ رَأيْتُنى أَنَا وَأُخْتًا لِى نَرْعَى عَلَى أَبَوَيْنَا نَاضِحًا لَنَا قَدْ أَلبَسَتْنَا أُمُّنا نُقبتهَا، وَزَوَّدَتْنَا مِنَ الهَيْنَةِ فَنَخْرج بِنَاضِحِنا، فإِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمسُ أَلقيْتُ النقبةَ إلى أختى وخَرجْتُ أسْعَى عُرْيَانًا فَنَرْجعُ إلَى أُمِّنا وَقَدْ جَعَلَت لَنا لُعْبةً مِنْ ذَلك الهَيْنةِ فَيا خِصْباه، ثمَّ قَال: أَعْطُوه أَرْبَعَةً من نَعَم الصَّدقَةِ، فَخَرجَتْ تَتْبَعُها ظِئرَان لَهَا".

"From Jarir () Jawad ibn Nashit, who said: I was with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab when a man came to him, fat and with well-fed eyes, and said: 'O Commander of the Believers, I am ruined and my dependents are ruined.' 'Umar said: 'One of them comes as if he were (ḥamīt), saying: I am ruined and my dependents are ruined.' Then 'Umar began to speak about himself, saying: 'I remember myself and a sister of mine tending our father's and mother's camel. Our mother had dressed us in a cloak of hide and provided us with a little food, and we would go out with our camel. When the sun rose, I would throw the cloak to my sister and go out running naked, and we would return to our mother, who had made us a toy from that food. How plentiful it was!' Then he said: 'Give him four of the camels of charity,' so they came out following her, two young ones of hers."
