[Machine] Oh Amir al-Mu'minin, Mu'awiyah has been too harsh on me, so please ask him to ease up on me." 'Umar said to him, "Fear Allah and be kind to your leader." Mu'awiyah said, "Is it 'Umar's intention to meet me and speak to me about easing up on him?" Abu Lu'luah became angry. His name was Fayroz and he was a Christian. He said, "Everyone's fairness is mine alone?" He became angrier and decided to kill him. He made a dagger with two heads, sharpened it, and poisoned it. 'Umar raised his voice, something he would not normally do during prayer time, and said, "Straighten your rows." He came and stood in the row right behind 'Umar during Fajr prayer. When the prayer was established, he spoke and said, "Straighten your rows." Then he raised his voice and let out a loud cry. He struck 'Umar on his shoulder, then on another spot, and finally in his abdomen. 'Umar fell. He struck thirteen men with him, and seven of them scattered. Six of them died, and 'Umar was carried away. The people did not move until the sun was about to rise. 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf called out, "O people, prayer, prayer!" The people rushed to pray. 'Abd al-Rahman went forward and led them in prayer. He recited the shortest two Surahs in the Quran. When he finished, people turned to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. He called for a drink to examine the wound. They brought him wine, and he drank it. He came out, and no one realized if it was blood or wine. He called for milk, and they brought it to him. He drank it, and the milk flowed out of his wound. They said, "You're fine, O Amir al-Mu'minin." He said, "If death is pain, then I have already died." Al-Dhahabi did not mention this incident in his summary.
