394 - Al-Duri informed us, saying: Muhammad ibn Bishr al-'Abdi narrated to us, saying: Mis'ar narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Malik ibn 'Umayr, from al-Saqr ibn 'Abd Allah, from 'Urwah, from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "The Jinn wept for 'Umar three days before he was killed, and they said:

[Al-Bahr al-Tawil]

May the victim in Medina be remote, for whom the earth has begun to shake, and the thorny trees tremble upon their trunks.

May Allah reward a leader with goodness, and may the hand of Allah bless that torn hide [i.e., his mortal remains].

You fulfilled matters, then left behind you calamities that were in their sheaths, not yet unfastened.

I never feared that his death would be at the hands of a brazen, green-eyed, downcast man.

So whoever strives, or mounts the wings of an ostrich to catch up to what you brought forth yesterday, shall be outstripped."
