[Machine] A letter from Umar came to us, and when you besiege a fortress and they want you to judge by the judgment of Allah, do not judge them because you do not know the judgment of Allah in them, but judge them according to your judgment, and then decide what you wish. And when a man says to another man, "Do not fear, he has given him security." And when he says, "I am protected," he has given him security. And when he says to him, "I think he will not surrender," he has given him security, for Allah knows the tongues. The Thawri narrated it from Al-A'mash, and he said at the end, "And if he says, 'Do not be alarmed,' he has given him security, for Allah knows the tongues." Abu Nasr bin Qatada informed us, Abu Amr bin Matar reported to us, Abu Khalifa reported to us, Muhammad bin Kathir reported to us, Sufyan reported from Al-A'mash, from Abu Wail, who said, "A letter from Umar came to us while we were besieged in a fortress, and he mentioned it in its meaning."
