"عَنْ عُتبةَ بنِ فَرْقَدٍ قال: اشتَريْتُ عَشْرَةَ أجْرِبَةٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ السواد عَلَى شاطئ الفُراتِ لِقَضْبِ دَوابَّ فَذكرتُ ذلِكَ لِعُمَرَ، قَالَ: اشْتَريْتَها مِنْ أَصْحابِها؟ قُلتُ: (نَعَمْ)، قال: رُح إِلَىَّ، فرحتُ إِلَيْهِ فقالَ: يَا هَؤُلَاءِ أبعتموه شيئًا؟ قالوا: لا، قال: ابْتَغِ مالَكَ حَيْثُ وضعْتَهُ".

[Machine] I bought ten experiments from the Black Land on the banks of the Euphrates to train animals. It was mentioned to Umar. He asked, "Did you buy them from their owners?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Go ahead." I was happy about it, so I went to him. He said, "Did you send them anything?" They said, "No." He said, "Seek your wealth wherever you have placed it."
