Arabic text

2909 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ، يَقُولُ: «لَقَدْ فَتَحَ الفُتُوحَ قَوْمٌ، مَا كَانَتْ حِلْيَةُ سُيُوفِهِمُ الذَّهَبَ وَلاَ الفِضَّةَ، إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ حِلْيَتُهُمْ العَلاَبِيَّ وَالآنُكَ وَالحَدِيدَ»
