"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."
اشْتَرَيْتُ عَشَرَةَ أَجْرِبَةٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ السَّوَادِ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ لِقَضْبِ دَوَابَّ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ اشْتَرَيْتَهَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهَا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ رُحْ إِلِيَّ قَالَ فَرُحْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَبِعْتُمُوهُ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ ابْتَغِ مَالَكَ حَيْثُ وَضَعْتَهُ
