ایک کوفہ کے رہنے والے سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت عمر بن خطاب نے لشکر کے ایک افسر کو لکھا؛ کہ مجھے یہ خبر پہنچی ہے کہ بعض لوگ تم میں سے کافر عجمی کو بلاتے ہیں جب وہ پہاڑ پر چڑھ جاتا ہے اور لڑائی سے باز آتا ہے، تو ایک شخص اس سے کہتا ہے مت ڈر، پھر قابو پاکر اس کو مار ڈالاتا ہے؛ قسم اس ذات کی جس کے قبضے میں میری جان ہے اگر میں کسی کو ایسا کرتے جان لوں گا تو اس کی گردن ماروں گا۔
