"عَنْ سلمة بن كلثوم أن أبا الدرداء ابتنى بدمشق، قَنْطَرَةً، فبلغ ذلك عمر بن الخطاب وهو بالمدينة، فكتب إليه يا عويمر ابن أم عويمر ما كان لك في بنيان فارس والروم ما يكفيك حتى تبنى البنايات؟، وإنما أنتم يا أصحاب محمد قدوة".

"It is narrated from Salamah ibn Kulthum that Abu al-Darda' built a bridge in Damascus. This reached 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, who was in Madinah, and he wrote to him: 'O 'Uwaymir, son of Umm 'Uwaymir, what did you have in the buildings of Persia and Rome that is not enough for you, that you build structures? You, O companions of Muhammad, are only an example.'"
