[Machine] O Suhayb, you have acquired wealth and have no children, and you have integrated into the Arab society while you are a man from the Romans. He (Suhayb) said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, as for your saying that I have acquired wealth and have no children, indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ likened me to his father Yaḥya. And as for your saying that I have integrated into the Arab society while I am a man from the Romans, indeed I am a man from the Namar bin Qasit tribe, who was captured from Mosul after I was a child and had known my family and lineage."
لَهُ يَا صُهَيْبُ اكْتَنَيْتَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ وَانْتَمَيْتَ إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ اكْتَنَيْتَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَنَّانِي بِأَبِي يَحْيَى وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكَ انْتَمَيْتَ إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ سُبِيتُ مِنَ الْمَوْصِلِ بَعْدَ أَنْ كُنْتُ غُلَامًا قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَهْلِي وَنَسَبِي»
