باب قصة وفد طيئ وحديث عدي بن حاتم
4156 حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ المَلِكِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْنَا عُمَرَ فِي وَفْدٍ ، فَجَعَلَ يَدْعُو رَجُلًا رَجُلًا وَيُسَمِّيهِمْ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى أَسْلَمْتَ إِذْ كَفَرُوا ، وَأَقْبَلْتَ إِذْ أَدْبَرُوا ، وَوَفَيْتَ إِذْ غَدَرُوا ، وَعَرَفْتَ إِذْ أَنْكَرُوا . فَقَالَ عَدِيٌّ : فَلاَ أُبَالِي إِذًا |
We came to `Umar in a delegation (during his rule). He started calling the men one by one, calling each by his name. (As he did not call me early) I said to him. Don't you know me, O chief of the Believers? He said, Yes, you embraced Islam when they (i.e. your people) disbelieved; you have come (to the Truth) when they ran away; you fulfilled your promises when they broke theirs; and you recognized it (i.e. the Truth of Islam) when they denied it. On that, `Adi said, I therefore don't care.
