"عَنْ مُحَمِّد بْنِ حُمَيْرٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مَرَّ بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْقُبُوَرِ! أَخْبَارُ مَا عِنْدَنَا أَنَّ نِسَاءَكُمْ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَتْ، وَدُورَكُمْ قَدْ سُكِنَتْ، وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ قَدْ فُرِّقَتْ، فَأَجَابَهُ هَاتِفٌ: أَخْبَارُ مَا عِنْدَنَا أَن مَا قَدَّمْنَاهُ وَجَدْنَاهُ، وَمَا أَنْفَقْنَاهُ رَبِحْنَاهُ، وَمَا خَلَّفْنَاهُ قَدْ خَسِرْنَاهُ".

"From Muhammad ibn Humayr that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab passed by Baqi' al-Gharqad and said: 'Peace be upon you, O people of the graves! The news of what we have is that your wives have married, your houses have been inhabited, and your wealth has been divided.' A caller answered him: 'The news of what we have is that what we sent ahead, we found it; what we spent, we profited from; and what we left behind, we have lost.'"
