"عن عمر قال: الشجاعةُ والجبنُ غرائزُ في الرجال، فيقاتل الشجاعُ عمن يعرِف ومن لا يعرف، ويفر الجبان مِنِ ابن ابنِه وأمه، والحسب المالُ، والكرم التقوى، لَست بأخيرَ من فارسى ولا عجمى ولا نبطى إلا بالتقوى".

"From 'Umar, who said: Courage and cowardice are dispositions in men. The brave man fights for those he knows and those he does not know, while the coward flees even from his son's son and his mother. Lineage is wealth, and nobility is piety. You are not better than a Persian, a non-Arab, or a Nabataean except through piety."
