"عَنْ أَيْفَعَ الكُلَاعِىِّ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ خَرَاجُ الْعِرَاقِ إِلَى عُمَرَ، خَرَجَ عُمَرُ وَمَوْلًى لَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَعُدُّ الإِبِلَ، فَإِذَا هُو أَكْبَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ للَّه، وَجَعَلَ مَوْلَاهُ يَقُولُ: هَذَا وَاللَّهِ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَته، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: كَذَبْتَ؛ لَيْسَ هُوَ هَذَا الَّذِى يَقُولُ اللَّهُ: {قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا ()} ".

"From Ayfa' al-Kula'i, who said: When the land tax of Iraq was brought to 'Umar, 'Umar went out with a freedman of his and began counting the camels, and they were more than that. 'Umar began saying: 'Praise be to Allah,' and his freedman began saying: 'This, by Allah, is from the bounty and mercy of Allah.' 'Umar said: 'You lied; this is not what Allah says: {Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy, in that let them rejoice} (10:58).'"
