حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ لِأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَنْ كَتَبَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ فَقَالَ

✧ Al-Shifa', the daughter of Abdullah, informed me that Labid ibn Rabiah and Adi ibn Hatim, who were among the first immigrants, came to the Medina and entered the mosque. They found Amr ibn al-'As and said, "O son of al-'As, ask permission for us to meet the Commander of the Believers." He replied, "By Allah, you have both got his name right. He is the Commander, and we are the believers." Then Amr ibn al-'As went to Umar and said, "Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Believers." Umar asked, "What is this?" He said, "You are the Commander, and we are the believers." From that day onwards, the title spread.
