[Machine] It is said that Al-Wadi'i, who used to work for 'Umar, was in charge of some of the Sham region. He sought out the enemy, and the cavalry followed him and the horsemen scattered. So he shot arrows at the cavalry and left the horsemen, and he wrote to 'Umar. And 'Umar wrote back, "What you did was great, and it became a tradition."  

البيهقي:١٧٩٦٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ كُلْثُومِ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ قَالَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ عَرَّبَ الْعِرَابَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا

يُقَالُ لَهُ مُنْذِرٌ الْوَادِعِيُّ كَانَ عَامِلًا لِعُمَرَ ؓ عَلَى بَعْضِ الشَّامِ فَطَلَبَ الْعَدُوَّ فَلَحِقَتِ الْخَيْلُ وَتَقَطَّعَتِ الْبَرَاذِينُ فَأَسْهَمَ لِلْخَيْلِ وَتَرَكَ الْبَرَاذِينَ وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ ؓ نِعِمَّا رَأَيْتَ فَصَارَتْ سُنَّةً  

رَوَاهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ هَذَا تَسْوِيَةٌ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ وَالْعِرَابِ وَالْبَرَاذِينِ وَالْمَقَارِيفِ وَلَوْ كُنَّا نُثْبِتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا مَا خَالَفْنَاهُ

"عَنْ كُلثُوم بنِ الأَقْمَرِ قَالَ: أَوَّلُ مَنْ عَرَّبَ العِراب رَجُلٌ منَّا يُقَالُ لَهُ مُنْذِرُ الْوَادِعِى، كَانَ عَاملًا لِعُمرَ عَلَى بَعْضِ الشَّامِ، فَطَلَبَ الْعَدُوَّ فَلَحِقَتِ الْخَيلُ وَتَقَطَّعَتِ الَبرَاذِينُ فَأَسْهَم لِلْخَيلَ وَتَرَكَ الْبرَاذِينَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ: نِعِمَّا رَأَيْتَ، فَصَارتْ سُنَّةً".
