[Machine] When Umar arrived in Sham, the soldiers met him while he was wearing a garment and sandals and had a turban on his head. He was holding the reins of his camel as he crossed the water. Someone said to him, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, the soldiers and the elite of Sham meet you while you are in this state?" Umar replied, "Verily, we are a nation whom Allah has honored with Islam, and we will not seek honor through anything else." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in the summary translation.
لَمَّا قَدِمَ عُمَرُ الشَّامَ لَقِيَهُ الْجُنُودُ وَعَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ وَخُفَّانِ وَعِمَامَةٌ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ بَعِيرِهِ يَخُوضُ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَعْنِي قَائِلٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تَلْقَاكَ الْجُنُودُ وَبَطَارِقَةُ الشَّامِ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى حَالِكَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «إِنَّا قَوْمٌ أَعَزَّنَا اللَّهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فَلَنْ نَبْتَغِيَ الْعِزَّةَ بِغَيْرِهِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
