139 — ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Salih related to me, from ʿUbayd ibn Muhammad al-Qurashi, from Ismaʿil ibn Dhakwan, who said:
ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab was plunged into deep grief, and nothing pleased him more than to be encountered while he was still mourning. He would say, “Whenever the east wind blows, it reminds me of Zayd.”
١٣٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، قَالَ: حَزِنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ حُزْنًا شَدِيدًا، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يُلْقَى حَزِينًا، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «مَا هَبَّتِ الصَّبَا إِلَّا ذَكَرْتُ زَيْدًا»
