"عَنْ رَاشد بنِ سَعْد () قَالَ: بَلَغَ عُمَرُ أَنَّ أبَا الدَّرْدَاء ابْتَنَى كنِيفًا بِحمْص، فَكَتَبَ إليه أما بعَدْ. يَا عُويْمَرُ! أَمَا كَانَتْ لَكَ كفَايَةٌ فيما بَنَتِ الرَّوَمُ عَنْ تَزْيِينِ الدُّنيا وَقَد أَذِنَ الله بخَرابها".

"On the authority of Rashid ibn Sa'd () who said: 'Umar was informed that Abu al-Darda' had built a privy in Homs, so he wrote to him: Amma ba'd. O Uwaymir! Was there not sufficiency for you in what the Romans built of adorning the world, while Allah has permitted its ruin?'"
