Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibn
al-Khattab in one year gave 40,000 camels as mounts. Sometimes he
would give one man a camel to himself. Sometimes he would give one
camel between two men to take them to Iraq. A man from Iraq came to
him and said, "Give Suhaym and I a mount.''Umar ibn al-Khattab said to
him,"l demand from you, by Allah!, is Suhaym a water skin?" He said,
"Yes."

which they were slain.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha that Anas ibn Malik had said that when the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to Quba, he visited Umm
Haram bint Milhan and she fed him. Umm Haram was the wife of Ubada ibn
as-Samit. One day the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had called on her and she had fed him, and sat down
to delouse his hair. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had dozed and woke up smiling. Umm Haram said, "What
is making you smile, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Some of my
community were presented to me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were
riding in the middle of the sea, kings on thrones, or like kings on
thrones." (Ishaq wasn't sure). She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Ask
Allah to put me among them!" So he had made a dua for her, and put his
head down and slept. Then he had woken up smiling, and she said to
him, "Messenger of Allah, why are you smiling?" He said, "Some of my
community were presented to me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were
kings on thrones or like kings on thrones," as he had said in the
first one. She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah to put me among
them!" He said, "You are among the first."
