[Machine] Al-Umari informed me that it wouldn't matter to you if you gained weight, and who before you would become lean, and who before me. And with God's assistance, Amr wrote: Peace be upon you. Afterward, I am here for you. A flock of camels has come to you, the first of which is with you, and the last of which is with me. Although I hope to find two ways to carry in the sea. When the first flock arrived, he called Zubair and said, "Go out with the first flock and face it tomorrow. Carry to each household what you can carry to me, and if you are unable to carry it, pass each household with a camel with what is on it, and let them dress people like we dressed them, and let them slaughter the camel, carry its hair, arrange its meat, and tan its skin. Then let them take a bowl of dough and a bowl of fat, and a handful of flour. So let them cook and eat until Allah brings them sustenance." Zubair refused to go out and said, "By Allah, you won't find anything like it until you leave this world." Then he called another person, who I think is Talha, and he came. Then he called Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, and he participated in that. When he returned, he sent him one thousand dinars. Abu Ubaidah said, "I didn't do this for you, son of Khattab. I only did it for Allah, and I don't take anything in return for it." Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us some things that we were hesitant about, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ insisted on them. Accept it, O man, and seek assistance from it in your worldly affairs." Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah accepted it.
