[Machine] "From his mother, Umm Abdullah, bint Abi Hathmah, she said, 'By Allah, we used to travel to the land of Habasha (Ethiopia) when Amr was present to fulfill some of our needs. Then Umar ibn Al-Khattab came forward and stood in front of me while he was still a polytheist. We used to face hardship and difficulty because of him, so he asked, "Is it true that you will be leaving, O Umm Abdullah?" I said, "Yes, by Allah, we will leave because you have hurt us and oppressed us until Allah provides us with a way out." He said, "May Allah be your companion," and I saw gentleness in him that I had never seen before. Then he left, and he was saddened by our departure. Then Amr ibn Rabee'ah came for his need, so I said, "O Abu Abdullah, if only you had seen Umar's concern and sadness for us." He said, "Do you hope for his Islam?" I said, "Yes." He said, "The one you saw will not embrace Islam until the camel of Al-Khattab embraces Islam." Then he said it with despair because of what he saw from Umar's harshness and severity towards Islam."
