#44 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Ibrahim ibn alHarith at-Taymi from Yahya ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Hatib that Umar ibn al-Khattab set out on one occasion with a party of
riders, one of whom was Amr ibn al-As. They came to a watering place
and Amr ibn al-As asked the man who owned it whether wild beasts drank
from it. Umar ibn al-Khattab told the owner of the watering place not
to answer, since the people drank after the wild beasts and the wild
beasts drank after them.
