English translation
4394. Narrated 'Adī bin Hātīm: We came to 'Umar in a delegation (during his rule). He started calling the men one by one, calling each by his name. (As he did not call me early) I said to him, "Don't you know me, O chief of the believers?" He said, "Yes, you embraced Islām when they (i.e., your people) disbelieved; you have come (to the Truth) when they ran away; you fulfilled your promises when they broke theirs; and you recognized it (the Truth of Islām) when they denied it." On that, 'Adī said, "I therefore don't care."(1)
