"عَنْ أبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيَ قَالَ: جِئْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَبَكَى (فَقُلْتُ) يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ نَبِيطَ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ أَسْلَمُوا، وَإنِّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِذَا أسْلَمَ نَبِيطُ (أَهْلِ) الْعِرَاقِ أَكْفَئوُا الدِّينَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ كَمَا يُكْفَأُ الإِنَاءُ".

"Abu 'Uthman al-Nahdi said: I came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab one day and he wept. (I said): O Commander of the Believers, what makes you weep? He said: It has reached me that the Nabat of the people of Iraq have embraced Islam. And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When the Nabat of (the people of) Iraq embrace Islam, they will overturn the religion upon its face as a vessel is overturned."
