[Machine] I accompanied Umar to Sham (Syria) and we stayed in a place. Then a sharecropper came and guided us to Amir al-Mu'minin (Umar) until he approached him. When the sharecropper saw Umar, he prostrated and Umar said, "What is this prostration?" The sharecropper replied, "This is how we treat kings." Umar said, "Prostrate to your Lord who created you." The sharecropper then said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, I have prepared food for you, so come to me." Umar asked, "Do you have any idols or pictures of non-Arabs in your house?" The sharecropper said, "Yes." Umar said, "We have no need for anything in your house, but go and send us a loaf of bread without adding anything to it." He went and sent the bread. Umar ate from it and then said to his servant, "Do you have any of that wine (nabidh)?" The servant said, "Yes." Umar said, "Send it to us." He brought it and poured it into a container, then smelled it and found it to have a foul smell. He poured water onto it and smelled it again but found it to have a foul smell. He repeated this process three times, then drank it. After drinking, Umar said, "If there is anything harmful in your drink, do this with it (referring to pouring water onto it)." Muslim al-A'war left it.  

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ الشَّامَ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا فَجَاءَ دِهْقَانٌ يُسْتَدَلُّ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الدِّهْقَانُ عُمَرَ سَجَدَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «مَا هَذَا السُّجُودُ؟» فَقَالَ هَكَذَا نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُلُوكِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «اسْجُدْ لِرَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ» فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنِّي قَدْ صَنَعْتُ لَكَ طَعَامًا فَأْتِنِي قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «هَلْ فِي بَيْتِكَ مِنْ تَصَاوِيرِ الْعَجَمِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي بَيْتِكَ وَلَكِنِ انْطَلِقْ فَابْعَثْ لَنَا بِلَوْنٍ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَلَا تُزِدْنَا عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِطَعَامٍ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِغُلَامِهِ «هَلْ فِي إِدَاوَتِكَ شَيْءُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيذِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَابْعَثْ لَنَا» فَأَتَاهُ فَصَبَّهُ فِي إِنَاءٍ ثُمَّ شَمَّهُ فَوَجَدَهُ مُنْكَرَ الرِّيحِ فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ مَاءً ثُمَّ شَمَّهُ فَوَجَدَهُ مُنْكَرَ الرِّيحِ فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ شَرِبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا رَابَكُمْ فِي شَرَابِكُمْ شَيْءٌ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا» مسلم الأعور تركوه
