English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي
When 'Umar embraced Islam, all The (disbelieving) people gathered around his home and said, "'Umar has embraced Islam." At that time I was still a boy and was on the roof of my house. There came a man wearing a cloak of Dibaj (i.e. a kind of silk), and said, "'Umar has embraced Islam. Nobody can harm him for I am his protector." I then saw the people going away from 'Umar and asked who the man was, and they said, "Al-'As bin Wail."
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ : سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا : "
لَمَّا أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ عِنْدَ دَارِهِ ، وَقَالُوا : صَبَا عُمَرُ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَوْقَ ظَهْرِ بَيْتِي , فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ صَبَا عُمَرُ فَمَا ذَاكَ فَأَنَا لَهُ جَارٌ ، قَالَ : فَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ تَصَدَّعُوا عَنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : الْعَاصِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ
