1716 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Manṣūr ibn Bishr narrated to us; Abū Saʿīd the muezzin—meaning Muḥammad ibn Muslim ibn Abī al-Waḍḍāḥ—narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Karīm, who said:
Someone said to ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, “May Allah reward you with the best of rewards on behalf of Islam.” He replied, “Rather, may Allah reward Islam with the best of rewards on my behalf.”
١٧١٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، يَعْنِي مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ قَالَ: قِيلَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ: جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ خَيْرًا قَالَ: «بَلْ جَزَى اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ عَنِّي خَيْرًا»
