"عن الحَرْمازِى قَال: كتَبَ عُمَر بنُ الخَطَّاب إلَى فَيرُوزَ الدَّيْلَمِى أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَقَد بَلَغَنى أنَّه قَد شَغَلَكَ أكْلُ اللُّبابِ () بالعَسَلِ، فإذَا أتَاكَ كتَابِى هَذَا فَاقْدِمْ عَلَى بَرَكةِ الله تعالى، فَاغْزُ فِى سبيلِ الله، فَقَدِم فَيْرُوزُ فَاسْتَأذَنَ عَلَى عُمَرَ فَأَذِنَ لَه فَزَاحَمَهُ فَتًى مِن قُرَيْشٍ فَرَفَعَ فَيْرُوزُ يَدَهُ فَلَطَمَ أنْفَ القُرَشِىِّ، فَدَخَل القُرَشِىُّ عَلَى عُمَر مُسَتمدًا، فَقَالَ لَه عُمَرُ: مَن فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بكَ؟ قَال: فيروزُ وَهُوَ عَلَى البَابِ، فَأذِنَ لِفَيرْوزَ بالدُّخولِ فَدَخَل، فَقَالَ: ما هَذَا يَا فَيْرُوزُ؟ قَال: يَا أَمِير المُؤمِنيِن! إنَّا كُنَّا حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بملِك وإنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ إلَىَّ وَلَم تكْتُب إليْه، وَأذِنْتَ لِى بالدُّخولِ ولم تَأذَنْ لَه، فَأرَاد أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِى إذنِى قَبْلِى، فَكَانَ مِنِّى مَا قَد أَخْبَركَ، قَالَ عُمَر: القِصَاصُ، قالَ فَيْروزُ: لاَ بُدَّ؟ قالَ: لاَ بُدَّ، قَال: فَجَثَى فَيْرُوزُ عَلى رُكْبَتَيْه، وَقَام الفَتى لِيقْتَصَّ مِنهُ، فَقَالَ لَه عُمَرُ: عَلَى رِسْلِكَ أيُّهَا الفَتَى حتَّى أُخْبِرَكَ بِشَئٍ سَمِعْتُه مِنْ رَسولِ اللهِ ﷺ، سَمِعْتُ رسُولَ الله ﷺ يَقُولُ ذاتَ غَدَاةٍ وَهُو يَقُولُ: قُتِلَ اللَّيلَةَ الأسْوَدُ العَنْسِيِ الكَذَّابُ، قَتَلَه الَعْبدُ الصَّالِحُ فَيروزُ الدَّيْلَمِى أَفَتُراكَ مُقْتَصّا منْه بَعدَ إذْ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رسول الله ﷺ ؟ قال الفتى: قَد عَفَوْتُ عَنْهُ بَعْد إذ خَبَرتَنِى عَن رَسولِ الله ﷺ بهذا، قال فَيْرُوزُ لِعُمَرَ: أفَتَرى هَذَا مُخْرِجِى ممَّا صَنَعْتُ إقَرارِى لَهُ وَعَفُوه غيرُ مُسْتَكْرَهِ؟ قالَ: نَعَمْ، قَال فَيْرُوزُ: فَأشهِدُكَ أَنَّ سَيْفى وَفَرَسِى وَثَلاثِينَ ألفًا مِن مَالِى هِبَةٌ لَه، قَالَ: عَفْوتَ مأجُورًا يَا أخَا قُرَيشٍ وَأَخَذتَ مَالًا".

It is narrated from al-Harmazi who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to Fayruz al-Daylami: "To proceed: It has reached me that the eating of lubab () with honey has occupied you. So when my letter reaches you, come forward with the blessing of Allah the Exalted, and fight in the way of Allah." Fayruz came and asked permission to enter upon 'Umar, and he permitted him. A young man from Quraysh jostled him, so Fayruz raised his hand and slapped the Qurashi's nose. The Qurashi entered upon 'Umar seeking help, and 'Umar said to him: "Who did that to you?" He said: "Fayruz, and he is at the door." So he permitted Fayruz to enter, and he entered. He said: "What is this, O Fayruz?" He said: "O Commander of the Believers! We were recently of a kingdom, and you wrote to me and did not write to him, and you permitted me to enter and did not permit him, so he wanted to enter upon my permission before me, and what happened between us is what you have been told." 'Umar said: "Retaliation." Fayruz said: "Must it be?" He said: "It must." He said: Fayruz knelt on his knees, and the young man stood to take retaliation from him. 'Umar said to him: "Gently, O young man, until I tell you something I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say one morning, and he was saying: 'The liar al-Aswad al-'Ansi was killed tonight; the righteous servant Fayruz al-Daylami killed him.' Would you then retaliate against him after you have heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The young man said: "I have forgiven him after you informed me of this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Fayruz said to 'Umar: "Do you think this removes from me what I did, my confession to him and his forgiveness being without compulsion?" He said: "Yes." Fayruz said: "I call you to witness that my sword, my horse, and thirty thousand from my wealth are a gift to him." He said: "You have been forgiven and rewarded, O brother of Quraysh, and you have taken wealth."
