"عَنِ ابن شهاب قال: كَانَ عمرُ بْنُ الخطابِ يأمرُ بروايةِ قصيدةِ لبيدِ بنِ ربيعةَ التى يقولُ فيِهَا: إن تَقوى ربِّنا خَيْرُ نفلَ... وَبإذْنِ اللَّهِ رَيْثِى وَعَجَل أحمد اللَّه فِلا نِدَّ لهُ... بِيدَيه الخَيرُ مَا شاءَ فَعَلْ مَنْ هَداهُ سبُلَ الخيرِ اهتدَى... نَاعِمَ البالِ ومن شَاءَ أضَلْ"

"On the authority of Ibn Shihab, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab used to order the recitation of the qasidah of Labid ibn Rabi'ah, in which he says: Indeed, the fear of our Lord is the best provision, and by the permission of Allah my delay and my haste. Praise Allah, for there is no equal to Him; in His hands is the good, and He does what He wills. Whoever He guides to the paths of good is rightly guided, living at ease, and whoever He wills to lead astray is led astray."
